Did you end up using the patching glue? And you just used the shelve liner thats kinda rubbery and comes in a roll? Doing this today! Easier and cheaper than the one I was going to build. Thanks!

Sorry for delayed response, was out of town and unplugged from the internet.
I ended up using JB Weld, something like this:
It has held up well, though there were always a few spots that will need re-attaching periodically. They also make a water weld kind of stick or putty type of product which I tried, but found it harder to work with than what I linked above over such a large area.
For the shelf liner, yes, exactly what you described and are thinking. I gave a light sanding to the bottom of the platforms to rough up the surface and spread the JB Weld, then pulled the shelf liner over the area doing a section at a time. Flip over and put something with a little weight on top if you want. Once dry, I trimmed the shelf liner with a razor.
Hope this isn't too late to help, please post a pic of the finished product in use!

Awesome idea, thank you both for posting it and continuing to keep the thread current. Will be building a set of these for our little swimmer monkeys.
