I would not advise using anything but marine epoxy made for this kind of job, like West Systems 105. That said, I would just enjoy the boat it as-is for now and fix it correctly over the Winter. This type of repair work is VERY easy and even if you have to by a few tools, you will come out way ahead on cost if you do it yourself. You will also have the luxury of time which is essential to get the moisture out of the laminate, once you expose it. Google "boat hull blister repair" and I'm confident you will find plenty of information for DIY repair.
