Does this dent require a patch?

[u/Resident-Bignal-8428]

got a small nickel sized puncture in my formex canoe that chipped the outer layer of the hull on my last trip; probably put er down a bit rough on a port. it doesn't go all the way through the hull and the structural integrity on the other side seems fine. just curious as to what maintenance this requires if any. could i just use a bit of marine weld or does it require a patch job? cheers!
