Attaching 2 Plastic Sheets

Attaching the second sheet step 1.

Attaching 2 plastic sheets.

I went to a craft store and purchased a yard of plastic in the fabric dept. Step 1 clean the two pieces of plastic to be epoxied together. Using the low setting on my heat gun gently heat up the two sheets till they get tacky. I need a glue that will hold water inside.

Then apply heat again. Attach the plastic along the ceiling by pressing thumbtacks through it and into the ceiling at the rate of one every foot or so. When you finish remove the thumbtacks and fill in the holes with tiny dots of putty that match the ceiling color. I then put water inside and a few hrs later noticed it was soaking through the plastic and leaking.

If the actual composition of the plastic is unknown an epoxy is the best choice as it will survive longer than the plastic sheets themselves. Rob shows a clip of plastic laminating where heat fuses plastic to paper. For lightweight plastic you may be able to use fewer tacks. To join two plastic sheets the sheets can either be glued preferably with a good epoxy or fused together.

Covering objects step 1 repeat steps 2. Then immediately apply pressure to fuse them together allow to cool down if too hot. I cut two 6 x6 pieces and glued them with a water resistant glue. Repeat sections 1 and 2 for as many sheets as necessary.

I hope this clarifies my question.
