Great stuff!!! all my spider cracks were grinded out and filled with Duraglass. Once filled easy to sand then apply more if needed for deep grindes. Last step use a fine sandable fering putty, I used Americas Cup from Fiberglass Coatings tuff stuff will not shrink... Make sure when you sand, sand in a pattern using all points in a compus N to S, E to W, NE to SW, etc...

duraglas is strong however it does not have a long working time when mixed corretly.  If you are looking to bond mateials together I would suggest ARJAY.  Is is low shrinkage and the activator is MEK so it has properties and cure time like polyester resin.  I use to to bond decks to stringers and fill small voids when putting in a new transom.  They sell it a fiberglass services in Sarasota.  
PS you can get it in 5 gallon buckets

Duraglass not bad, easy to work with not for structural use. Watch the MEK that stuff is potent. Gloves, respirator.
