I have about a softball sized scratch in my fairing from dragging on the pavement. not only do i need to smooth it out, but i have to add a little bit of material as well. Has anyone used JB weld for this type of repair? This is my first time doing a project of this sort, so any suggestions on products and technique would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

My research has led me to either PlastiFix or Bondo. Has anyone had any success with either of these?

How deep is the scratch? I would assume it's not almost through the panel.
There is a lot of good information on that page. The only thing I didn't see is reinforcement of the cracks or deep gashes. But I only skimmed it.
On our cars and trucks we do bodywork on if it's a FG panel it will always get some fiberglass reinforcement from the back, if not most of the time the bondo will crackout and show flaws in the paint.
