Not sure where you are located but there is a guy in Castaic that has done a lot of fiberglass work and gel coating. He does awesome work and is very reasonable. Let me know if you want his contact info.

Bondo hair is what he is talking about. You can get that at any auto zone.

I used west marine epoxy with 404 filler and mixed to a peanut butter. 404 is also a strong filler and the epoxy resin itself has strength as well. You can tap threads in it if you needed. Plus epoxy sticks to pretty much anything.
