It may look simple and easy but a small repair like this can be tricky. You're reconstructing a part that has two sides, not just a simple fill.
You're duplicating an existing or pre existing part, from what I can see. And in order for the new repair to stay fixed, part of the broken piece may have to
be ground back and some type of form needed for the back of the repair piece.
Simple but you need a pro with a some finesse. Sloppy work and you'll be sanding for days. I would consult a few places in your area
first. Woodchuck: I never suggested a dry lay up. Only a proper resin to cloth ratio, which is fundamental to any glass work. Strength comes from the cloth and not the resin. Check out the West Systems website, they have a support line and a blog. Good luck.
