Default Repairing ARF Cowl

I bounced my P-47 off a roof via its wing tip on landing and munched the cowl. Since it is an ARF cowl it is gel coated(painted), and not like the glass cowls I have in kits. The gel coat flakes off where it cracked so I need to figure out how best to repair it with West Systems. It held its shape, so I can reinforce the interior with heavy cloth, but I need to also fill in the outer shell where the Gell coat sheared off.
