To repair an inflatable mattress, we recommend using Seam Grip. Seam Grip is an award winning seam sealer and repair adhesive. It is permanent, flexible, waterproof, and provides abrasion resistance. How to Make a Repair with Seam Grip: Preparation is vital to a good repair: Completely deflate the mattress Thoroughly clean the repair area with isopropyl alcohol (dirt and body oils can impact bonding strength, so it is extremely important that you clean the surface first) *Optional: You can roughen the surface with sandpaper to help with bonding strength
Once the surface has been prepped and is dry: Apply the adhesive (a little goes a long way) Paint a small layer of adhesive over the hole, extending at least 1/2” in all directions around the hole Allow 12 hours to fully cure before attempting to blow the mattress up or get back on *** SPECIAL NOTES *** You do not need to use repair patches in conjunction with Seam Grip. The adhesive will do the job on its own, assuming the area is clean and prepped Inflatable mattresses must be repaired with a permanent adhesive like Seam Grip or Aquaseal You must allow the adhesive to fully cure before attempting to blow the mattress up Patches alone are not strong enough to hold back the amount of PSI associated with inflatable mattresses Sleeping pads tend to be thinner inflatable mats for personal use (think Therm-A-Rest.) Sleeping pads can be repaired at home by following the steps above for an inflatable mattress. Though Seam Grip is all you need to make a repair to an inflatable, when you're in the field or out camping, you typically will not have 12 hours to wait for the adhesive to cure.
With our Seam Grip Field Repair Kit you would make the repair as described above. Once you’ve applied the adhesive, place a patch over the curing adhesive and directly onto the sleeping pad material. This will allow you to use the sleeping pad immediately, as the glue dries. These patches will hold up on sleeping pads and Therm-A-Rest mattresses, but are not recommended being used on a blow-up bed or larger inflatable mattress. Those items contain a great deal of PSI and you need to wait for the glue to properly cure (12 hours) before attempting to get back on blow-up beds or larger inflatable mattresses. Clean and dry the area to be repaired. Roughen surface if you are able. Apply Seam Grip to cover the hole and spread 1⁄4” (5mm) beyond. Allow to dry level overnight. To speed the cure time, mix a few drops of water into Seam Grip before applying to the hole. Seam Grip cures faster when it’s wet. Technique for small (dime-sized) repairs only. To use the repaired pad at once, mix a few drops of water into Seam Grip before applying to hole.
Apply mixture and allow to cure level for 30 minutes. Then center the Tenacious peel-and-stick Patch and apply over Seam Grip. The patch must extend at least 1⁄2” (10mm) beyond the Seam Grip and bond directly, and solidly to pad fabric. This minimizes the possibility of Seam Grip seeping out from under the patch. Press patch firmly onto pad. Your sleeping pad is ready for use. Seam Grip seals small holes and leaks in the nozzle area. Seal with Seam Grip and stand upright overnight.How to Fix an Air Mattress Hole Many campers prefer the relative comfort of an air mattress as opposed to a sleeping bag when they’re in the woods. Whether it be for health reasons, or just to feel refreshed in the morning from a night of quality sleep, a good air mattress is a godsend for some campers. But bringing an air mattress to the campsite invites with it a host of problems, from packing space to mattress maintenance. One of the most common issues air mattress users face in the outdoors is the punching of a hole in the mattress’ delicate lining.
Fortunately, the experience of longtime air mattress users has revealed a few tricks to solve the problem quickly and easily. Finding the source of a small, gradual leak is often the toughest part of the hole fixing process. Air mattresses almost never blow out completely. Instead, they drain throughout the night – especially when camper’s sleeping bodies are putting pressure on them. Few things are as annoying to air mattress campers as waking up on the ground because of slow deflation. For small holes that you just can’t seem to find, the simplest method of discovery is to overinflate the mattress. With the added air pressure, the hole will usually start emitting an audible “whooshing” sound or expand and become more visible. Some holes, however, are more stubborn. If you’ve tried the overinflating trick to no avail, it’s time to bust out the big guns – or in this case, the spray bottle. A trick many experienced campers used to discover air mattress holes is to create a solution of dish soap and water in a spray bottle, and use it on the inflated mattress.
