I don't know if others would approve, but I just used some Marine-Tex putty down there. Took a skinny putty knife to smooth it down. It's not the prettiest repair, but I was doing little spot repairs (chips in the hull, a crack near the bottom of the trunk). Since you're on the curve, you might want to try some cheap wooden kabob spears.

I made my solution on the goopier side, think ketchup, and it hardened up just fine. It's thin enough to spread well, but thick enough not to run.
 
Are you taking on water inside the hull? If the area of concern is above the normal water line, is it really worth getting involved with?

You could spend hours trying to get the daggerboard to fit properly again. :mad:
