Here is a link to a FAQ page about Marine Tex epoxy.  Sounds like something I should add to my repair kit.

Jim,

Thanks for this info. Although I have used MarineTex on my boat and
carry it in my emergency kit, I just found out about the putty stick. I
always figured that the normal MarineTex with a 1 hour cure time could
always be used for on water repairs--the putty stick sounds like an even
better material for this use. Might not be pretty, but could certainly
prevent a boat from sinking.

Steve

That Stick Putty is single-component; I don't get it - is it epoxy or what?
There is 2 years shelf time for regular (slow-cured) putty,  must be similar
for Stick, I suppose.

According to my local West Marine, it really is a two part epoxy. One
part is wrapped around the other and they are 2 different colors. You
mix them by kneading them together until the color is uniform.
