You can fair it with whatever you want just remember what ever you prime with it must be compatible...for instance...fair the part with epoxy then you need to use epoxy primer like awlgrip primer....Duratek says they’re primer will bind with the most Epoxies....well I found one it won’t bind to...it’s probably better to just keep it simple...honestly I would recommend using poly based resin for the bracket and then use a poly based fairing compound and primer compatible with those...The rule of thumb is you can epoxy over anything but not vice versa.
