It may be quick and easy, but quick and easy doesn't last. There is no "magic" fix.
Grind and fill properly.
Van, I tried the 2 part thick Petite product (FlexPoxy), it seems to hold up well and is also completely waterproof. Also cures to a flat white which is nice. I had to make a new backing plate for my hull drain (which is way forward on my inboard) out of G-10 and needed to fair it to the hull. Due to the no sag/thickness it was easy to work upside down.
The Interlux is supposed to be just as nice and have similar properties.
Just make sure to prep well!
