Default Repairing plastic/polyethylene boats

I know that there is a such thing as poly welding. I believe it uses
ultra-sound, not heat. Not sure what kind of PE it can weld. Look in the
yellow pages for companies that make plastic tanks (welded, not molded) and
give'm a call. They may know just what to do...or not. Call.

There is no reliable way to repair PE with glue, epoxy or otherwise.
The only way to repair it that will last is to melt it together. A
soldering iron may work on thin pieces but to get adequate penetration
in the kind of thickness I think we are talking here, you need more
heat. A heat gun with a funnel output or a plastic welding gun
(preferred) is needed.
