Default Repairing plastic/polyethylene boats

I know the poly welders at work are a special breed. I was suggesting
taking it to a shop to have fixed. Polyethylene is a bear to do anything
with because nothing glues to it very well. Can't speak about the 'torch
it' first technique, which means I can't say it works or not. Sounds
interesting if it needs to be a DYI job, or an adhesive caulk, maybe with a
patch? Either way, I was talking about having a shop do the welding...

Ultra sound is another way to heat the plastic. Not very practical for
the DIYer.
