4.0 out of 5 stars It worked!, December 16, 2008

I had bad luck with my airbed. There was a hole right next to the valve stitching and I tried bicycle repair kit and some random patch kit from a crafts store, but no luck. I even tried the famous duct tape :)

This product worked however! I was pretty dubious first, when the piece of vinyl didn't seem to attach properly around the hole, but when I used plenty of glue and let it dry about a day, it stuck nicely and seems to be airtight now! Great value, especially if you have an expensive airbed that is broken!

The package had no instructions whatsoever...

If you're a good guesser, your patch will be strong and reliable. Or see tips below.

This kit was thrown together with little interest in product design or helpfulness.

~~> The instructions don't tell you which side of the patch should get the adhesive (the two sides have different textures).

~~> The instructions don't tell you if a thick or thin coat of adhesive should be used, or whether you should apply the patch quickly while it's wet.

~~> There's enough cement for 40+ repairs, but only 4 patches are included.

~~> The tube of cement has various warnings, but no info on what the substance is.

~~> The instructions are in English and French, but not Spanish.

The patches are a good thickness (30 mil), and over 2" diameter.

For field repairs, better to bring pressure-sensitive (tape-like) patches. The tube of cement is about 5" long and the kit says: "wait 24 hours before inflating for best results."

Tips: I tried a thick coat of cement, applied the patch quickly (while wet) and lightly clamped it. Worked well.
