How to seal a hole in an air mattress?

First you need to find a place where the air comes out, and determine the number of damaged areas. This will take more time than the repair itself.

There are several ways to check.

1. Lower the inflated mattress into the water: from where small air bubbles will appear, the puncture site is located there.
2. Find a jet of passing air by examining the entire surface of the mattress with your palms. After that, to more accurately determine the puncture, you need to lubricate this place with soapy water. A soap bubble will inflate from the hole.

Mark with a marker or chalk the place for sticking the patch. After all the holes have been found, it is necessary to dry the mattress well. When it dries, you can proceed to the repair work.

For this we need:

• repair kit "Intex" or other suitable;
• sandpaper;
• any solvent for degreasing;
• a small brush for applying glue;
• small load to pin down the patch.

It is advisable to do all the work out of the blue, so that nothing would interfere. The mattress will need to be lowered, because in the inflated state it is difficult to glue the patch and press it down with a weight.

Getting to the main work.

1. Treat the puncture site with fine-grained sandpaper.
2. Then it must be degreased, wiped with acetone or other means to remove fat.
3. Next, use alcohol to remove the flocked mattress cover, clean the surface, removing lint.
4. Attach the patch from the kit to the puncture and circle with a pencil or marker.
5. In a designated place, apply glue with a thin layer.
6. After 15 minutes, apply glue again and also wait 15 minutes.
7. Put a patch on top and press down well with a load.
8. The mattress in this position is left for a day until the glue is completely dry.

Tip

If the room is cold, then the previously damaged place and patch should be heated with a hairdryer.
