LDPE is the right plastic for welding Kracor tanks. I ran short as it takes more than you think it will. I went searching for LDPE plastic around the house and finally cut some old Tupperware plastic tops into strips. Made for a funny look with a number of different colors, but it worked fine.

Get the right rod - LLDPE I think it is. Practice a little with a heat gun and it turns out great.

Looking through the archives I see that other 1981 C&C 36 owners have had the same problem, so I am reaching out to see if welding the polyethylene was successful or not, or was a new Kracor or other manufacture tank ordered?
