Default Repairing plastic/polyethylene boats

A glue gun will not work. You have to melt the polypropolene.
Larry Hill


A local vendor showed me a technique for installing fittings into plastic
holding tanks.
It's called "spin welding", and it sounds really complex until you see that it
simply involves cutting a hole and then,literally, spinning the new fitting at
a high speed until the plastic melts and bonds together.
