Anyone use the epoxy putty for their boats? 2 part putty that you mix
together

I was talking to a friend the other day - he was telling me how he
wrapped a line around his prop and jammed his strut up into the hull.
He discovered a small fountain of water coming in.
He had some of the epoxy putty - squeezed it together to start the
reaction and mashed it in around the damaged area - he then held it in
place with his hands as it warmed up and cured. 90% of the water
stopped - so he mixed up a bit more and was able to stop all the
incoming water. Confident enough that he left the boat on a mooring
overnight and had it hauled a day or 2 later for repairs.
I'm thinking I should have a couple tubes of this on the boat for
emergencies.

BTW - Jamie at Shining Waters Marine did his repair - my friend had
nothing but great things to say about the workmanship -- I believe Jamie
is C+C lister Mike Amirault's son.
