Sounds like this guy knows his stuff, they do make "epoxy" mixes that
are specifically made for the purpose of fixing rot.

It's generally regarded as more of a cosmetic, temporary fix unless
you put some new wood in at the same time. Luddite described a
repair to an older boat that he owned where they paired up new lumber
with the old, rotted stringer. That's usually called "sistering" and
is a time honored way of making a permanent repair.
