How to fix a hole in your kayak on a deserted island (or at least how I did it I was packed for & planning a 2.5K kayak, 2 nights camping & kayak back. This happened as I arrived at my destination)
1) engage mantra : Do the best you can. with what you have. at the time.

2) assemble a bunch of different plastic and rubber things (bottle caps, lobster elastics etc) and test melt them to see what melts and sticks to the boat the best. I settled on 2 discarded caps I found.

3) heat up knife and plastic and apply melted plastic to kayak

@CBCPEI

Then I realized what he was typing was "Pumped!" Pumped! was either a TV show (I can find no reference now) or a segment of a TV show that was a kids version of a Sports Desk, co-hosted by a couple of young kids (10ish?) around 1990. @CBCPEI @CTVAtlantic 2/
