Penguin Sprayer takes a bullet

[Anew Carpet Cleaning OKC]

I left a penguin sprayer near a small heater and it now has a triple size half dollar size hole melted about 2 gallons up, any ideas on how to plug it???....thanks.

the hole is on the side wall, I am currently trying to plug it with a cut out of a plastic encap gallon, but it is a rough fit, any help would be appreciated.

I doubt that you'll find a successful way to effectively patch roto-molded plastic. If you need a replacement tank, we can get one for you. Sorry to hear about your injured Penguin!

Seems like you could use a door knob cutter to create a uniform hole and use the same process to make a cutout from suitable material. Then, trim and epoxy the patch.

Try one of those "winter closing" plugs from an above ground pool supply place if hole is not too large.

I am sure if you look for the right size, you will find one.
May have to drill out a round hole first like Hoss suggested.

That sounds like it might work. Good idea!

Take a look at these. Must be a joke or something. It's a little rubber cork with stainless washers, a bolt and a wing nut. WHY SO EXPENSIVE!!!
Are these a super special size for some top secret military project?

We're all in the wrong business. LOL

after you pluge the hole, hit it with some of that flexseal stuff. I haven't used it but on tv it looks pretty impressive.

Many thought this did too.

I use to be an auto body Tec. There is such a thing called a plastic welder used for the plastic bumpers on cars today.Check with your local body shop that is certified in plastic repair.Good luck!

I know you can get those rubber stoppers with the washer less expensive then that
my Steamin Demons have them so I know they all cannot be that expensive

[Hoss]

I guess the real issue would be the pressure within the tank.
