Paul, You also have cracks in the skin and damage to the glass structure. Your main problem is that there is zero strength in your tips and just smoothing it over won't change that fact. I would start by filling the creases with microballons and epoxy. Then I'd sand it smooth. The next step would be to add 2 oz glass over the damaged area, blot up as much as the excess epoxy as possible. Finally I would spray primer over the damaged area, sand it smooth and finally paint it.

I have sanded down to the glass layer, I would like to fill in the creases with something that I can sand out smooth that will eliminate the creases. What should I use? I was thinking of light weight spackle, will this work? Any other suggestions?
