I have one of those plastic "noodles" that are used for beach or pool

I want to glue the ends together to make a hoop.


I'd try my hot melt glue gun.
Otherwise polyethylene is difficult or practically impossible to glue.
Fusion might work but it is foam and would shrivel.


Put both ends on a hot iron. When they start to melt quickly put them
together. You only get a short time and one placement so practice a
time or two before heating.
