In the season one episode called "Goodbye Island," what substance does the Professor use to try to patch up the boat?

During the episode, Gilligan and Mary Ann make pancakes for dinner and they find a tree that can provide syrup to eat with them. The syrup they collect turns elastic when it's heated, which gives the professor an idea. Of course it doesn't work as the dried syrup quickly turns to dust. They'll be stuck there for another two seasons!
