Gel Coat Repair

I recently purchased a fiberglass boat, and noticed a nick through the gel coat right on the underside corner of the chine to where I see fiberglass. I do not see any damage to the fiberglass, but it almost looks like the fiberglass and gelcoat separated in this small spot. Note that the gel coat seems pretty thick in this location, and I'd have to fill this nick from below. I have ordered both marinetex and gelcoat repair with hopes that the gel coat repair will be sufficient.

 

Is there a way to add build to the gel coat in order to fill this nick or is there a readily available high build resin to coat with the gel coat? It sounds like the Marine Tex and gelcoat aren't super compatible.

 

Thanks,
