Construction adhesive may be fine for sealing the pull holes. However, I'd think 3 times before attempting to use to waterproof the skin.
A while ago Mr. Gentry posted here claiming construction adhesive can be used as the fabric coating. I forgot you should not believe everything you read online, and gave the adhesive a try.
What a miserable failure it was!
Very thick and next to impossible to spread evenly. In addition, ugly non-descript shade of "@#%-brown" color.
Luckily for me, I did a trial run on a small portion of the deck near stern. If I attempted the whole boat, I'd have to reskin it.
