I've searched around and haven't been able to find an answer to the following question: I slightly pierced the side of my mash tun (an 120 quart Coleman) and would like to patch it. Silicone does not work, because it peels off. I was wondering if it would be fine to either (1) melt the plastic slightly with a blow torch until I can push it back together, or (2) melt some other plastic (say, from the lid of an unused food-safe bucket) and patch the hole. It's too small a hole to replace the mash tun, but big enough to bother me.
Would one of those two options work? Does melting the plastic and reforming it sacrifice anything in terms of durability or food-safety?
