Joe, ( Sea Wolf ),
Loctite is sending me a sample to test on the Polyethene, ( Pudgy ). The Pudgy factory sent me some welding sticks ( orange plastic ). Tony is sending a special heat gun to use in the welding. I'm am practising on a plastic bucket a whole bunch before attempting to fix the tiny leak in the keel. I am impressed with the Pudgy people in their dealing with this small flaw. When they get the manufacturing problems fixed it will become a very popular dingy for boaters world wide.

The Locktite didn't work. It wouldn't harden up. I tried several different tests, none of them took. I finally used a heat gun and welded it with strips of the same matierial. It took some doing because it was inside the hand hold on the keel. I think I got it sealed. I will know shortly.
