PeteO asks:
>> wonder what else people have had to use in real repair situations?

Denzo tape.

It's a British made plumbers tape that'll stick to anything, even wet.  It's
oowie/goowie, a tar/ heavy grease impregnated tape the width of duct tape.
I roll out double wide, 4-6" long patches onto aluminum foil backing then
cover with 4mil plastic and store in a ziplock.  These live in my deck bag
and are ready to go. A couple of these will quickly patch a huge hole in a
boat, even at sea.  It truly works.  You just remove the plastic sheet,
stick it on and leave the aluminum on as a backing.  It helps if you rub it
with pressure to get it to bond well. GRO imports the stuff, so anyone in
the states selling NDK or VCP should be able to get it by the roll <a huge
amount>.  We package it up <as above> in convenient little kits.
