The cylindrical part of the door seal on my Samsung washing machine is
punctured. I need a quick fix while we wait for the replacement, but I
don't know what particular plastic it is. To source a patch I have a
local wetsuit shop, a local bicycle repair shop, gaffer tape and (non
fabric)duct tape. Suggestions please.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Sticks like sh1t or other ms polymer adhesive - Toolsatan,
screwfux et al.

Clean both sides of the punctire, degrease with meths. Apply
adhesive to both sides and cover an inch say around the puncture
onto "good" seal.

Could outlast the machine! :-)

Burn it!

(Google "burn test plastic". Once you know what it is, you can get the right
adhesive...)

Can you turn it around so the puncture is at the top?

Long ago I had a front loader with a big hole in the top of the tub at the back. It never leaked noticeably.

I think I'd try the puncture repair first on the back side so to speak.

Agreed. I'd also try and refit it so the (repaired) hole is at the top.
The last one I replaced (in fact, I think the both the ones I've
replaced) would fit any way up, or alignment- it was just the retaining
wire (which went on later) which had a particular right way.

Some of them have an internal drain hole at the bottom.

To prevent buildup of scum & mould. Livewithoutable if you must, just wipe it clean on occasion.
