Pool patch kits are useful for several things. I had a co-worker many
years ago who owned a 25 or 26 foot cabin cruiser. It cracked along the
base of the stern, where it joined the back of the hull. He applied a
pool patch on it at my suggestion, and stopped the leak until he could
get it repaired by the local boatyard. The repair guy got a good chuckle
when he saw it, but acknowledged that it did work.
Finding unconventional applications for things can be fun...
