If it's just about fairing, I would prepare the area religiously, and use epoxy with fillers of choice, definitely including some glass fibres for strength. If you load the resin with glass it will be a b1tch to sand, so make sure you level it when it has gelled but not fully cured. A super careful wipe with an acetone-wetted cloth is a good trick. I would first make sure that everything is tight, including the bolts, (which often have their countersunk heads filled....) and that there is no reason for undue vibration. It would not surprise me at all if the area compresses a bit over 40 years, and that as a result, the screws are looser than they were when installed. ...
