Just pour a layer of water on top of the plastic to hold it down against the
wine. An inch or so should suffice. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless
the primary is pretty much finished gassing though, or it could get messy
when gas pressure starts pumping wine up between the sheet and the
fermenter, and then onto the floor.

Obviously you'd need to be sure the plastic extends well beyond the rim of
the fermenter and that it doesn't have any holes in it. You'd also want to
be careful when dumping the water so that it doesn't end up in the wine.
