Gum has been used in a pinch for emergency repairs to canoes (aluminum or fibreglas) if it hits a rock in the rapids. If the damage is not large, and the trip back is too long to portage, chew some gum and force it into the crack.

Look up chicle industry, chicle is the name of the sap that chewing gum is made of. They might list some other uses.
