It isn't necessarily the correct material, but it would coat the thread and make it waterproof. Re: fiberglass resin

Again, not the product for the job...but should work for a last minute repair that HAS to be done NOW. I would strip it when time allowed and properly repair later.
You say "resin", but there are resins that are not waterproof. I would suggest using epoxy resin that was developed for rod building. Re: fiberglass resin

If it's a polyester resin it's not going to be super flexible. Expect some cracking and eventual chipping.
