Air mattress fix...

[Granny]

I thought I would share this... I had an air mattress in my truck that developed a very slow leak. With camping season coming up I brought it into the house and pumped it up pretty hard. After a good bit of holding my face really close to the seams while moving about the mattress I finally found a pinhole. Having used patch kits before, and finding them to be next to worthless I got creative. I had a can of liquid electrical tape sitting in the basement so I brought it up and, with a toothpick, worked a drop of it in and around the hole. I allowed it to completely dry and then aired it up pretty hard. It's been two days now and it hasn't leaked a bit. I believe I will be adding a can or tube of this stuff to my camping gear box for this season.

since I have to run innertubes with Nellie's rims,I use the regular innertube patches to try and fix em.It's worked pretty good so far.

Holding your face really CLOSER to the seams would also fix the leak also!
