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.
