Another good idea is to trim/round off the four sharper corner edges of the new patch. If not, these are the points where a patch will usually come apart or peel off.

Thanks John, you're right the sharp corners tend to start to curl and peel off. Hopefully this patch holds a few more uses at least 👍

[@gabbirae7274]

Did it last?

[@2slofouru]

Use goop sealant, cut a piece of vinyl fabric as the patch. Goop is flexible and strong and the vinyl fabric (pleather) patch will reinforce it. Tire patch rubber cement is not compatible with the vinyl these mattresses are made of.

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks for sharing will have to give that a try. Have patched many a mattress this way over the years, without issue though

[@citylumberjack8381]

@ 2slofouru: Is there a specific type of goop? I’ve seen the product at Walmart or Home Depot. Sometimes there are multiple versions of a product and I want to make sure I select the correct one? My air mattress is also vinyl but I suppose most of them are?

Find the hole grab a lighter and something with plastic wrapping. In my case I used my black and milds box covering. Tear a small piece off light the plastic 🔥 blow it out and quickly place it on the hole for atleast 10 seconds with pressure and repeat if necessary. My bed is no longer sinking in. That’s the manly way to do it I believe bc if I gotta go back to the store I’m returning it

[@JonnyDIY]

Thats awesome, thanks for sharing 👍 never tried that way, but sounds similar to like hot glue gun

[@bad_request5088]

The adhesive your using is meant for vulcanizing rubber. The air mattress is made of PVC. You need to use a PVC sealant. That's likely why the first patch failed and I wouldn't expect the second one to last long term.

Thanks will check that glue out. Still holding fine, just used a few weeks ago. First patch turned out to be bad batch of glue.

I ordered something from Amazon that was specifically for air mattress tear repair. I can't remember the name but all you have to do is look up air mattress patch kit. The only bad thing is you needed to leave it for 48 hours for it to set. I just put a bunch of books on top of it. But it worked beautifully. I use that bed for another 6 months, I was living someplace where I knew I wouldn't be there long and I didn't want to go to the expense and trouble of buying a bed. So I slept on that air mattress for 9 months and that one patch really worked. But the biggest deal was you have to let it set for 48 hrs or it won't take.

I was worried about using a soap solution on these almost cloth feeling mattresses. No issues with cleaning it up after the hole is found? I have done this with pool floats and such but not with anything that feels like these beds.

So Jonny DIY the hole in my air mattress is on the top where it has a type of felt like material. I used Duct tape first but the tape didn't stick to the felt. Then I tried Gorilla glue with the tip of a Q tip. That held for a while. Now it's leaking again. I used more Gorilla glue and Q tip but still leaking air. And again the hole is on the top of the mattress. Any suggestions...

[@JonnyDIY]

You can do the same fix as I did here, but be sure to scrape and sand off all the old glue around the hole. And since on the felt you use a lil bit more of the patch glue. Can get a bicycle patch kit at any Walmart, sporting store or bike shop 👍

I've always had luck with either listening for it, feeling for the air (sounds funny, but if you put your lips near leak you'll feel it), or the soapy water spray bottle. It's also possible its leaking from the pump mechanism. I've never taken one apart to see if possible to fix that though.

Ooo 10 inch hole will be tricky to fix. It's possible with a very large patch, but will be difficult to get to seal I'm thinking. You could try. I would probably just get a new one though or be prepared to at least if doesn't work 👍

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes it should still work, I've patched both areas with success before. I just use more glue on the felt. If small prick put glue over hole then glue patch over whole area as well. Make sure to clamp down as I showed as pressure while drying will be key 👍

[@sheylapagan2670]

Can I use the same thing if it's on the top of the mattress with the fabric

Hi Jonny, It's me again. Just a thought, when I've repaired my Airbed's I've used Gorilla Epoxy Resin and I've used it three times all were successful. I don't use any patches, just put it straight on. Never fails. I also keep the bed at 90% blown up so the glue isn't stretched so much when hard. As you will know it's part resin and part hardener, mix it together and it bonds like magic. It's even made in America. Also I was wondering re finding the impossible leak: Is there a chance you might check out the pump and whether that could be a source of leakage ? Thanks for your help, Paul

Do you think crazy glue would work ?

[@JonnyDIY]

For a small hole it may work. Worth a try if it's all you have 👍

[@mountiescorner]

Put duct tape over the crazy glue to keep it in place 2 layers Like a “T”

What about the top of the bed, where it’s flocked? Whatcha got for me there, sparky?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@SamanthaNickole02 sand really well before applying patch. Thick glue works well for it too like e6000

Classic patch kit

I had the same bed but hole was on top and was 1/4 inch slice how to you fix a bigger hole on top

[@JonnyDIY]

You can fix it the same way I show here with bigger patch 👍

[@USbachelor]

@@JonnyDIY i tried and the volor wouldnt holed it.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@USbachelor sand down surface really well and try again if doesn't work again, try a thicker glue like e6000 with patch 👍

[@ruthybermudez16]

Duck tape works well, also…I did it to mine 🙂

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks for sharing. As long as it holds air, good to me 👍

[@blue_latics2]

The worst leak to fix is definitely in the seams (the space in between the parts that rise up on top). That was fixed temporarily with gorilla tape, less is MORE! You don't need a ton of tape. I say it's the worst because it's different to patch a seam when it's not flat while inflated

[@JonnyDIY]

@@VIGILANTE_Eraser45semi yes you're right, seams and around the pump are tricky. Keep an eye out for more leaks. I've had them where the seams just start failing all over

Thanks bro

What if you want the in-laws to leave sooner?

[@JonnyDIY]

Lol I'll have my cat "accidentally" use the corner of the bed as a scratching post 😸👍
