That's what I was going to say...if you want all that nice aesthetic
appeal
of blue tarp, then you can make it even prettier with some nice silver
duct
tape. Remember, "If the women don't find you handsome, then at least make
sure they find you handy."

There's no glue that will work with polyethylene or polypropylene. I

a
lot of years TRYING to formulate one... I'd be rich if I could.

You can heat weld as someone mentioned with an iron, but practice on
some
scrap first. You CAN make things stick a little better by oxidizing the
surface with a torch, but that's probably impractical with a thin tarp.
Glenn's tape sounds promising, or just use duct tape on BOTH sides of
your
seam.

Now if you can find tarps made of PVC or Hypalon, you can glue those.

I was thinking there might be some type of solvent similar to that
used
to
weld PVC pipe.

I have had moderate success with double faced tarp tape from
Northern
Hydraulics. It last about as long as the blue tarps. (Which don't
last
all that long in the first place.)
