Strip: filling in backside of rolling bevel

I've noticed that the backside of some of my rolling bevels have gaps. In other words, I beveled too much so that the front is tight but there's a gap on the inside. Visually this doesn't bother me but I can imagine all of the air gaps that will occur when I get to the fiberglass stage. How do people typically deal with this? Right now I'm thinking about: first do a rough sanding job, then apply some type of easy to apply and sand fairing compound, and then do the final sanding. Microspheres with epoxy may work well for this, but I'd like to avoid 2-part epoxy in this case. I don't think there would be any structural need for the epoxy. Maybe another option is to just use some type of wood filler.

cheers
