This is what I did. This is an excerpt from one of my previous posts.
[font="Open Sans", sans-serif]"1st project, attempt to fix the holes in the bottom of my large sled. It was the 1st one I ever bought and I used it hard on the ice and in the marsh. I drug it over way too many things I shouldn't and had made it unusable in the marsh and less than ideal for ice fishing. I bought another smaller sled a few years ago, but still kept the other one around. I had attempted to fix it several times with bondo, but it would ultimately fail and begin leaking. Flex seal didn't work either. I read that you can try melting a plastic hanger and filling the holes. So I got out my torch, cut a hanger into the appropriate size pieces, and started melting them in to place over the holes. It took a few tries, but ultimately got them all filled, including a big 3x4" hole. The plastic really adhered to the sled and I think it is going to hold. I guess we'll see when I take it out, but I am really optimistic."[/font]
[font="Open Sans", sans-serif]I laid several pieces of the hanger next to each other over the hole and started melting them. They melted together and also adhered to the sled. The finished product isn't glamorous, but it filled the hole and as an update, my sled no longer leaks. Good luck.[/font]
