I've specified Belzona several times for use offshore as a patch up job untill a permanent fix can be engineered. It's tip top stuff, although it's a bugger to remove once set (we tried needle guns, garnet grit blasting, the lot, what a bugger 
).
A few caveats though, like all of this type of stuff, you need a good clean, rough surface for it to key to and you need to get the mix correct. Dont put it anywhere you want to remove it easily from.
Apart from that knock your socks off

Liquid metal has it's uses, but as a "roadside" repair you won't find many things it will fix that putty wouldn't do better. Last time I used liquid was to repair a crack in a weld on an aluminium petrol tank, in a pretty inacessable place. Cleaned the area with a toothbrush and brake cleaner, scored the surface with a sharp screwdriver, then let the liquid metal run along it. Worked perfectly. 
Have a stick of the premixed putty in my rucksack all the time though.

Chemical metal is awesome stuff. I buy some that's like putty, rather than liquid. It's in a sausage shap, and you just break off the amount you want, and knead it together.
