That seems strange...
Not if it started out small. If it were an entry hole from a small fast object they may have tried to plug it to slow loss of cabin pressure (it is a thing for a slow deconpression) but may not have realised it's not going to do much with structural damage.
The procedure is usually used when you have a faulty door seal and getting noise from it not for plugging a hole. Confusion perhaps?
