Default cowling

i am looking at adding to the edge of parts of my cowling to redo for a tighter fit to my fuselege. i am thinking about laying a layer of glass on the side of the cowling and after that sets adding flox /resin onto the glass to increase the length of the cowl 1/8''- 3/16''. most of that will be sanded off again.
any tips or a better way to add ''length''?
