The Cape Dory Board

I just removed the old portlights from my boat, and they were held in by a system using just a rubber gasket and what appears to be automotive trim, a system which I am not eager to reuse. However, because of this, these windows lack a proper wooden frame. I am willing to use either wooden or alumin...

I'm doing a lot of hull and deck repairs with Formula 27 filling compound, which a guy at the marine store recommended. I'm wondering, though, is it waterproof? Or do I need to seal it with gelcoat resin? I loathe gelcoat resin, and would like to paint directly on the filling compound if possible.
