Graham,  

I have been doing a lot of reading recently on fiberglass repair. And you are correct in regards to making sure the mould release agent is gone,  but the two different authors i have read state that you just have to give the gel coat some teeth to hold the new epoxy.  They suggest sanding lightly with 100 grit paper. 

They both state that extra material should be removed any place that is cracked by grinding it into a shallow 'V'. One recommends using using 'chop' as the material to fill it with then saturated with epoxy. 

The other days that pretty much any fiberglass material will work for fill.
