Sounds interesting, but it does say it's temporary.......which can be great thing to have in your kit so a trip doesn't get ruined. 

i don't want to be a cherleader for hot glue repairs, but a glue gun costs about 15-20 bucks, the glue sticks almost nothing, and the repair is good forever.  I patched the crap out of an old scupper pro and the repairs held for over ten years.  The glue gun is good for drill holes and gouges. Not good for big repairs.

Thanks for all the advise. I think I will go the glue gun route, are there different types or will my wife's standard one she uses for crafts work?

I think so.  i use one that I bought at a hardware store that has a high heat setting.  i use the higher range temperature glue that you can buy for it.  I have used the lower temperature glue without any problems.  The key is to let it heat up enough so that you can use the tip to slightly melt the rim of the hole itself, then give it a shot of glue.  If the surface you're adhering to is cold, the glue won't stick, which is OK, just try again.

Also, a piece of tape behind the hole stops the glue from shooting all over the place.  The stuff trims better with a single edge blade while it is still warm but not hot.

not wanting to drill holes in my Hobie Pro Angler is why I went with Mad Frog's "liberator" mount.  I can mount everything  (small battery, transducer, all wiring, etc. right on the liberator mount).
