What Peter described sounds like Denzo tape. It's a thick sticky tape about 
4-5 inches wide. The idea is that you turn the damaged kayak upside down 
(or at least expose the damaged area), dry it as best you can, slap on a 
patch of Denzo tape, and go on your way. Obviously it's a very temporary 
repair. The version of it which I got is a roll of it. I cut patches 
separated them with waxed paper, kept about 6 of the patches in my kayak 
repair kit. Never needed them, fortunately. Pre-cut patches backed with 
foil or some other material would be much handier. The Denzo tape is sticky 
both sides, and it will make a mess of your hands if you handle it very much.
