You have a gap where there is no resin?! add some transparant gelcoat and cover it with some kitchenfoil (for microwave) on top so it can cure... Do this in a few steps so that the gap is filled again (similar to applying bondo to fill some holes but with gelcoat in fact) Sand and polish and it should be good but you might still see a small difference. Watch the video from Easycomposites, it's a great video that might help you get the idea Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com
