It's some variety of polyethylene -- pretty much nothing on earth will stick to it. In theory you might be able to weld it, but it's a very specialized skill. None of my attempts have ever worked. If you were desperate, you could get some of that sticky RV weatherseal goo that comes as a strip rolled up with paper -- stick some on the bottom, then reinforce with duct tape or similar. That should at least slow it down, prolly stop it for quite a while. david
