Yup. It's a thermoplastic, somewhere around 300 °F it becomes soft and limp, easily formable. Press it against your hole/cone and wait for it to cool. After it holds its shape you can heat up different spots to work any places that you missed on the first go. Trim it down, sand up the edges, get the bolts in, apply sealant and bolt it down.
