Repairing a Plastimo dinghy

[ifoxwell]

I'm guessing its made from a Polyethylene of some kind and a Google search suggests that it should therefore be repairable... however a Google search suggests that it only works if you use the correct type of Polyethylene

Any one any experience of repairing these (ours is a green PRS210)

Thanks

Ian

If you mean their rigid plastic tender? If so a decent soldering iron will do it. You can get the plastic from a bucket etc, scour the hardware shops for plastic tubs or buckets of the correct colour and either look for a PE symbol or the knife & fork foodsafe symbol as these are normally polyethlene. Cut a piece to the size you need and fuse it together with a soldering iron. Done it a few times to kayaks over the years filling in drilled holes etc but you can do major repairs the same. This will give you a general idea.
