English translation:gluing or taping
Explanation:
Untuk menghindari kalimat menjadi rancu dengan kesan seolah-olah lubang2 ditutup dengan lakban (saja) atau plastik yang dilem padahal yang benar adalah ditutup dengan plastik yang dilakban atau plastik yang dilem maka saya usulkan terjemahan di atas sehingga kalimat konteks menjadi “Seal all the openings by gluing or taping plastic over them to stop the gas escaping”.

Explanation:
Sebenarnya kalau sekedar "dilem atau diberi lakban" cukup "glued or taped" tapi dalam hal ini mungkin terjemahan lengkapnya bisa menjadi: ...seal the openings with glued plastic or adhesive tape ...

Explanation:
If the gluing needs to be done to the plastic, I think you'd need to change the structure:

Seal the openings with adhesive tape or by gluing plastic to them.
