Keep in mind as well that bondo will usually flake and pop off if you ever have significant strain on the keel, and will seperate...it has drastically different properties than using marine expoxies. In the automotive repair business - bondo as general rule is not used for that purpose and not usually endorsed by an insurance company for any repair....(although some shops will use it as a shortcut but those are shops you would want to stay away from to begin with....for filling a small scratch or something you could get away with it - but I certainly would not trust it at the location your repair is....
