The original formula superglue and baking soda , worked . I didn't time it, nor test for longevity.
Kinda like fairy dust.

^^ What is this 'fairy dust' you speak of? A cleaning company? Lay off the pipe bro.

A Glittery powder that can provide Magical events, actions or dreams to happen. Only a real Fairy or Pixie has this Dust.

Ok another quick Superglue tech tip. Tired of your DH n OH ropes fraying at the ends? Tried the lighter trick n found the rope doesnt really melt properly ? So cut the rope on a slight angle. Apply a few drops of superglue to the cut area. Hey Presto! youre done. Makes threading the pulleys n cleats a pleasure.

Here is what I have done after crunching my fins on rocks:

I used expoxy putty (about $8 in Bunnings), pushed it into vaguely the right shape making sure to fill and holes properly.

Sanded using 80 grit. Will find a pic somewhere.
