I have a blown up arm of a air cushion chair that has a leak at one of the seams. It is definitely a mfg. defect, however no warranty at this late date. I tried normal patch material with no luck since the seam gets in the way of the patch. Any suggestions?

I repaired a tear in the flocked velvet portion of the vinyl air mattress with Elmers probond polyurethane Ultimate Glue. Just wet (water) the area to about 3/8 in. outside the tear area with a few drops of water and rub it in so that water also gets under tear. Apply a few drops of Polyurethane Glue and rub it into the area forcing it through the tear or hole and let it set for 24 hrs to fully cure. Repeat if desired expanding area 1/4in.. This is a great glue for those around the house repairs as it bonds to just about everything although it does expand upon curing but sandable. Follow manufacturers safety directions.

Go to the hardware store and get a vinyl patch kit, air mattresses are made of vinyl like a swimming pool. That should hold.

.88 cent bottle of elmers glue. It works wonders and holds better than anything I've found. Just apply a small amount and work it into the leak. It takes persistance and a few applications but the seal is amazing.

k, put crazy glue around the leak, then put duct tape on the circle! combining 2 wonderful products into one solution.once u have one circle and tape, keep doing that for a lot of coverage. i did it and it worked.

Does anyone know how to patch a full size inflatable bed mattress successfully? Duct tape has slowed the leak, but the mattress has a flocked or velvet vinyl top, and air is seeping from under the layers of duct tape.

Kiddy Pool Patch Kit

I used a patch for the kiddy blow up pools on a water bed & it is still holding a year later. Should work on air also.

Seal All

there is a product called "seal all" and it works good, even on waterbed mattresses. last time I got it it was in a red/yellow tube. (05/25/2006)

Krazy Glue

Just try drops of Krazy Glue or whatever it's called. That contact cement. I've used it to patch a water bed in the past, so if it works for water it should work for air. Just do a drop, let it dry and do another one. That should fix it. (05/25/2006)

Duct Tape

I wonder if you can work a piece of duck tape through the split to the inside of the mattress and flatten it down, then stick another piece on the outside. It may last a bit longer that way. (05/26/2006)
