Crack in the gel coat

[Higgybulin]

Any of you body work guys come across this? I am sure you have. Crack in the left fender flare(rear downslope, picture is turned 90°), seems pretty significant but doesn't go through the fiberglass base layer. Just wondering what you guys do for this...die grinder with sanding disc or dremel bit and then use some fiberglass or rage depending on the depth?
Any help is appreciated as always!

Ha! I just replied to your PM and asked for a photo…never mind! Sand through the gel and see if it’s in the glass. If not just feather it out and carry on.

What Jeff K. said!
I just had a similar issue with the front and rear cockpit flanges. Not cracked. The gelcoat was cracked and just seperated from the fiber glass. I broke away all the seperated gelcoat then sanded it down, then packed it with NAPA short strand fiberglass. I'm sure the 3M Platinum would suffice, but I have the NAPA fiberglass.
