You didn't specify "poking plastic" originally. Is that what you'd do?

Yes. I use the same principle in my veg patch. I cover it with old silage
sheet and make holes with a blow lamp. The sheet melts back to produce a
hard ring and a nice clean hole to plant the veg through.

Actually that's not a bad idea - for a veg patch. I might (albeit
reluctantly) follow your example :-)

However, I think that such holes might be too large for a polytunnel lacing
repair.
