Hi Beth,

Actually, rather than trying to fill the gap I'd sand the two hull 
halves down till you get a good fit - put a sheet of fairly coarse 
sandpaper or wet-and-dry flat on a good smooth work surface, then 
sand the piece in a circular motion, checking for fit at regular 
intervals (you'll be surprised how fast coarse grit cuts through the 
resin!).
