I've never worked with the fibreglass, but it might look better than bondo... with either one, it seems like you could mix some up, slap it on, and use your finger or some other "special tool" to mold the shape you want... cove, quarter round, angle, whatever.
Of course you'd have to consider vibration / movement / installation & removal...

I think I found what I wanted, it is a container that holds 1lb of Vihta Vuori gun powder (great pistol powder BTW):
It is a soft plastic that is the right size, easy to cut and trim and is the right color already. Only draw back is unless you reload with it or know someone that reloads with it you'll have to buy $20 worth of powder to get the container. I just happen to have 4 lbs of it from when I was loading 38 Super. I first cut it in half:
And this is what I got so far:
Yes, I had thought about fiberglass but it takes a lot of work to get it smooth. I have some experence with fiberglass and it wasn't pretty. If I had gone with sheet metal the bondo could help smooth the corners, but bondo is fairly brittle so you wouldn't want to use it by itself.
