Default fiberglass cowling

I am in the process of building a cap 232, specifically working on the engine cowling, i've been using a dremel to cut away necessary holes for the engine so so the cowling fits properly, as i was fitting it trial and error i accidentally cracked the cowl from one hole to the other, its like a stress fracture, it only cracked the paint, more of a cosmetic issue, anybody have any ideas on how to seal this, keep in my mind its the paint not the actual fiberglass. thanks in advance

Default RE: fiberglass cowling

if it is just in the paint, I would lightly try sand it out, if that didn't work then would use some spot puddy and repaint it. Next time try to tape on the opposite side of the cowl it will lessen the cracks.
i hope this helps
