Good ideas posted thus far. Another thought might be to stop by a
greenhouse and see of they can give you a couple of feet of the tape they
use to repair tears in the greenhouse film covering their Quonset
structures. This has excellent plastic-to-plastic stick.

Thanks for all the replies! We just completed the packing tape fix, and it
actually looks like it is holding very well. I might try the 'greenhouse
tape' in the furture if I need to redo soon.

Go to a boat store and pick up a roll of bimini tape. It will last for
