- wingsfan20Explorercut with sharp knife only cut three sides. Punch holes in both edges of three cut sides and use zip ties to close it back up.
- therinkExplorerI recently had to cut mine open to service a tank. After cutting out and removing the coroplast (square opening 18" x 18"), I went to a local sign shop that makes vinyl graphics and they gave me a 24" x 24" piece of black coroplast (used to make vinyl signs), for free. I placed the new piece over my opening and sealed it up with gorilla tape. Has held well and now I have an access hatch for next time I need to get in there.

The plastic is called Coroplast or Correx. It does not glue well, but Gorilla tape may work for you.
I need to repair a tank under the trailer. It is covered with a corrugated plastic material that is one large piece covering the bottom of the entire trailer. I need to cut it but don't know how to repair the cut.Any ideas?
If you want to replace it, 8'x4' sheets should be available from a sign printer near you.
I get it from Laird Plastics in Detroit. About $12/sheet of 4mm. All kinds of colors. - Peg_LegExplorerMine has screws around the edge. I unscrewed it and removed the whole thing. I had to access the pin for my spare tire winch on the road side. I sliced it with a knife and just used some black tape that I had with me. I like Gorilla brand but if all I had was duct tape I'd use it. Black just makes it harder to see.

- MerrykaliaExplorer IIWhen we worked on ours, we used several pieces of GORILLA TAPE to repair the work area. It has worked for us for over three years without replacement.
