Post subject:  Hair line Crack Repair

The wife paddled up next to me on my Lynx. The wife's paddle board caught my stored paddle on the Lynx while we were on the lake. I think it pried the paddle down onto the Lynx's side handle and cracked the plastic. When we got home I noticed there is a three inch hairline crack going from about the Hobie side sticker down towards the center of the handle/kayak. At first I thought, and it looked like, the plastic just dried and aged causing the crack but the prying on the stowed paddle makes more sense.

Do I have to cut away a larger area, around the thin crack, then fill? ie, cut out a 1/4 inch strip along the crack then fill with epoxy? Or can I just lay epoxy along the crack and build up some epoxy over the crack? I don't want to make the damaged area bigger.
