Meanwhile a couple of pointers:
If you not worried about cosmetics and it really is not structural,
a car body filler should do the job or the standard epoxy adhesive you get in tubes.

The rest of your post , was spot on ; but car-body filler on an epoxy board
is a BAD idea !!
Car body filler is made with polyester glue ; it does NOT stick well to epoxy
because the actual molecular weight chains in polyester are Larger than the
ones that make-up epoxy. You can use epoxy to fix a polyester surfboard though.
ALSO -- only the car body fillers that are made with chopped-fiberglass fibers , are
actually water-proof ; the fillers in the common one , (easy to sand/shape) that is
used for filling a dent , are NOT water proof.
5-min epoxy is also a poor choice ; (:30 min) cure time is better. The longer it takes
for the epoxy to go-off, the better the, (mechanical) bond. I personally only use
epoxy with a, (:60-min) cure time, to fix anything composite
YES -- it does matter ; if you want the repair to be around a while !!
