How to glue an air mattress yourself?

To do this, you will need glue, a piece of leather or rubberized cloth, and a hair dryer. Special kits are sold for repairing a mattress or inflatable boat. They include transparent patches and waterproof glue.

The procedure consists of the following steps:

  1. We inflate the mattress.
  2. We are looking for a leak. The easiest way is to spray the soapy foam on the surface - bubbles will appear in the place of the hole.
  3. Degrease the puncture site with gasoline, acetone or ethyl acetate. Mark the hole with a marker so you can find it later.
  4. Wipe with a dry piece of cloth so as not to erase the marker. Alternatively, we use a hairdryer.
  5. Remove the tissue layer with a screwdriver or other non-sharp object. The area to be cleaned is equal to the size of the patch.
  6. We cut out and degrease a patch of rubberized fabric, leather or other material that repels water.
  7. Apply a dab of glue to the place marked with a marker. Adhesive - silicate, rubber or PVA.
  8. When the glue dries slightly, press down on the application area to force the glue into the hole. Smear the remains around the hole.
  9. We apply glue to the patch. Press down and lightly warm up with a hairdryer for better grip.
  10. We leave the mattress to dry.
