If you find a leak in your air mattress, it may still be fixed. Here’s how:
Purchase an acrylic spray paint at the hardware store. If you have a bigger mattress, buy more than one. Choose a chemically safe product, especially one that will not bother your nose when you sleep on the air mattress.
Bring your mattress outdoors or in a well-ventilated area before you attempt to spray on the air mattress.
Spray on it, giving particular care to the seams, corners and bottom. Let it stay there for two hours.
Do another round of coat and let it dry longer this time. It’s best to allow the paint to dry over night.
The air mattress should be back in full form the following day.

You’ve got to be kidding. Spray paint to fix a leak? I hope no one took you up on that advice.

Better bet is to get some Tear Aid (available from Cabelas). Type A is for anything but vinyl. I used it to fix my cotton canvas covered latex air mattress bladder, and so far its as good as new.
Type B is specifically for vinyl. Haven’t tried that, but if the need ever arises that’s what I’ll go for.
