Chris, laminate the additional piece to each side of the vertical. It is easy to do and easy to taper. That is the best alternative you have short of removing the vertical and replacing it. Another solution would be to put the foam on the vertical, sand it to shape and build up the void on the vertical spar with flox (not micro) and then glassing the vertical while the flox is still wet. By doing that, you would get a bond between the glass and vertical post via flox. Best to use flox because it is structural and micro is not.
