Should I pursue this project?

Should I pursue this project?
My friend has a huge heavy plastic tarp that came apart at the middle "seam". She asked if I could fix it. Since it was a heat set seam instead of stitched I'm hesitating on trying it. If it were canvas I might attempt it but have concerns about the plastic.
Has anyone done anything like this? And any suggestions?
I would like to help her out if I can.

I think if you sew it, it will cease to be a functional tarp as the needle holes will probably leak. If she uses it for hauling leaves it will probably come apart again fairly quickly. I don't think it will be worth the effort. I think you are better off sending your friend to Harbor Freight
