Is there a plastic weld of any kind that would fix a tear in plastic drum?

I havea whirlpool and it looks as though a 50p coin has caused a tear in plastic drum. Is there any good stuff that can be bought to glue it together

to effect a proper repair, best to carry out repair from inside the drum, which would involve seperating the drum into two parts.
Check out my site for info: www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual.html

No shortage of repair kits available in DIY outlets or motor factors.
Glass fibre is one option - i.e. fibre glass mat or tissue with resin & hardener.
Other types like "Plastic Padding" consist of a resin and hardener. Check instructions on product for suitability relative to proposed application and precautions, Health & safety information etc before use!
