I know some people are making smart ass comments but i just ruined a $200 dollar crossbow magazine, it still functions but there’s a hole in it. This was a great way to fix it.

I know you can go to the store and buy a new one, but if you can repair it and use it, that's great

You may consider getting a metal paint tray. Good vid for general plastic repair though.

In order for this to work you must use the same type of plastic for it to bond correctly the zip tie used in the demonstration is made of nylon like they all are the paint tray was more than likely HDPE or PP poly propylene.

In other words, use small bits of metal as the thatching/heat conductor and use zip ties as the solder/tar to finish the seal.

You can also use metal mesh used to repair fiberglass for cracks at any autozone
