Short answer: It depends.
Long answer: Resin jelly can be used as both a replacement to standard resin (Timecon used jelly on his Chief suit), and as a replacement to Bondo (DocBytes uses it here). However, when you say without fiberglass, I'm assuming you mean you don't want to use either mat or cloth. If you try to stregthen your armor with this stuff, it will be like filling your piece with Bondo, and will weigh a TON. This doesn't matter if you mold it, but you'll need a whole lot of jelly. So unless you plan on molding this and spending a big chunk of cash on resin jelly, I'd say nay.
What I suggest is use jelly and fiberglass. Smear the jelly on, then lay the glass down. The glass lets you use a lot less jelly, and the jelly reinforces tiny areas that may be too hard for the glass to reach.
