I just used this product to fix an intex durabeam air mattress that I accidentally gashed with a picture frame. The gash formed a slit in the vinyl about two inches in length, and is shown in the photo. So far, here are my observations: 1) The box delivered to me was in good shape, but when I opened the box, I noticed that one of the smaller, pre-cut patches had partially detached from the wax paper backing, and adhered to something else in the box. Luckily, I wasn’t intending on using this piece anyways (too small for a two-inch gash) but regardless I was nonetheless able to move the patch back onto its appropriate place in case I need to use it another time. 2) The patch material is clear, so the patch becomes less visible when adhered to the vinyl, regardless of its color. This was desirable for my application. 3) Comes with two alcohol pads to prepare the application area. 4) It has been roughly 8 hours since the application of the patch, and it appears to do a good job of adhering to the vinyl, although I have not yet inflated the mattress as the patch needs 24 hours to cure. Steps taken: I deflated the air mattress on the floor, and pressed the sliced portion of the air mattress so that it was totally flat and parallel with the floor. I made sure there were no wrinkles in the material, and avoided any pleats underneath the damaged area to ensure flatness. I took measurements of the gashed region, and designed a rounded patch shape that exceeded the edge of the slice by about one inch on a computer, printed it out, then taped the printout to the included patch, and used scissors to cut the shape out of the patch material. Then I thoroughly scrubbed the damaged air mattress area with the included alcohol pad, making sure to clean everywhere where the patch would come into contact. I then turned on the fan in the room to help the excess alcohol evaporate, which only took a couple of minutes. Next, I placed my customized patch with the protective backing still on, and moved it until I was satisfied with its placement, making sure to try to keep the edges of the patch about one inch from the tear. Then without allowing the patch to slide, I removed one small region of the protective wax paper on the side of the patch, and pressed it against the vinyl air mattress. I then used a debit card in my wallet as a squeegee, and simultaneously squeegeed while pulling the protective backing off, allowing the patch to remain perfectly flat and aligned during application, and ensuring no air is trapped under the patch during application. When the entire patch had been applied, I introduced strong pressure with my fingers, and also the plastic handle of a pair of scissors to help ensure thorough contact between the surfaces. I went over this multiple times vigorously, making sure that all the edges were also well-adhered. The instructions say that a heat gun may be used to expedite curing time, but I don’t have one, so this technique was not used in my case. The instructions also indicate that the strength of the bond (for the type B patch) asymptotes to approximately its final value in about 24 hours when a heat gun is not used. I intend on inflating the mattress only after at least 24 hours has elapsed, so I will have to return and update this in the future. So far, the solution seems to be working as advertised, although I have deducted one star for the poor packaging that led to one of my stickers partially detaching from the wax paper backing, and sticking to other objects in the box. Luckily, this development did not affect my project, since I only needed the larger patch, which shipped without detaching at all. EDIT: It has been a week since I performed the repair. The repair is NOT a permanent solution, at least for a 2 inch gash. On at least two occasions, I woke up on the mattress when I discovered that the mattress was losing air. For this kind of hole in a pressurized air mattress, the patch stretches as the vinyl expands due to the inflation. This allows the tear to bulge open wider, which allows the vinyl to spread away from its original position, which can gradually cause the patch to peel slightly on the edges. To make matters worse, since the patch doesn’t hold the tear shut, the corners of the tear tend to continue propagating, making the problem even worse. I ended up with the tear spreading much closer to the edge of the patch than I had started with, which ended up causing leaks. In order to reduce the likelihood of leaks, I had to use my fingers to press down on the patch before going to bed every night to make sure to re-establish the bond. Admittedly, This product would probably have worked better if I had made the patch longer in order to account for the tear growing after application of the patch. My leaks always occurred on the left side of the patch where there was no longer sufficient distance between the tear and the patch edge. Also, I could imagine that this product would be adequate for pinhole punctures, which wouldn’t have a tendency to continue spreading open and tearing. I could also imagine that this product could work for a long gash (like the one I have) if a before application, a few stitches were used to forcibly hold the gash closed. Then when the patch is applied over the stitches, it would be the stitches, not the patch itself, that would bear the spreading force. Then the patch would probably be able to do its job of making an airtight seal, which it seems to be quite good at. ... show more

    • Float tube repair
Style: Inflatable Repair Kit Color: Inflatable Repair (Pack of 1)
I fish a lot in a float tube. Many things you use are sharp, pointed and eventually they get stuck in places that leave a tiny hole in a blatter. This can quickly fix the problem and you can get back to fishing.

I purchased this product hoping it would mend a small (~1/4" tear) on an exercise ball that got punctured by a phone charger. Upon opening the package, two of the patches were peeling back and one of those had stuck to the paper backing of another patch, rendering it partially useless. Although this product is designed for inflatables and vinyl materials (exercise balls are both), the instructions do not specify whether you should apply the patch while the item is inflated. I was worried that inflating the ball after patching would stretch the patch too much so I partially inflated it and applied the patch. I then used a blow dryer for about 10 seconds to help the glue set. Note that the instructions say you can use a heat gun at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to speed the curing time. Blow dryers generally heat to less than 200 degrees. The heat apparently softened the patch enough that the pressure from the air inside the ball puffed the patch material out, and it distorted the tear in the ball so that rather than a slit it was now a gaping, almond-shaped hole. I let it cure overnight, but the spot was still bulging the next day. Worried that the patch would not be thick enough to protect the hole, I applied another patch without heat and let it cure overnight again. The following morning when my husband used the ball, the first patch started leaking air, and the tear grew from 1/4" to about 2" long. Because the ball material warped while heating, I was not able to line up the tear while deflated and repatch it. So I'm out $12 and I still have to buy a new exercise ball. Based off of my experience, if you are trying to repair an inflatable object, first deflate it and make sure the tear is lined up tightly before patching so that (hopefully) inflating will not stretch the tear out. Don't use heat unless absolutely necessary. ... show more

I tired other stuff and this one finally fixed my giant inflatable duck ( vinyl). It worked and kept it good for all the trip. Don’t over heat the patch ( I did it and it can damage the inflatable )

    • Amazing and easy iSUP repair
Style: Inflatable Repair Kit Color: Inflatable Repair (Pack of 1)
I bought these to repair a tiny puncture leak on my iSUP. My iSUP would hold proper air pressure for a few hours but not days. I partially deflated the iSUP, cleaned the area with 70% isopropyl alcohol and a rag, let it dry and applied the patch. It held most of the air in but bubbled under the patch. Whoops. It still did a decent enough job that I felt safe on my iSUP but decided to redo the patch job once I was home. The patch was easy enough to peel off. My bad for not completely deflating the board. Round 2: after peeling the original patch off, I cleaned the area thoroughly with acetone and a rag. I cut a bigger patch this time but didn’t do a very good job of getting all of the air bubbles out. Shoot. Went ahead with it anyway, and used my heat gun to help cure the patch faster. Decided to use the smallest little patch directly over the puncture as a second layer and used my heat gun on that too. This seemed to work just fine even with the air bubbles! I’ve taken my board out two times since then (pumping it up and deflating) and it seems to work much better the second go around. I’m happy with this product and would definitely repurchase to fix another leak if needed. Much easier than getting vinyl adhesive (my iSUP repair kit had a patch but no adhesive). ... show more
