HI Guys - any one got a tip for repairing this seam leak on me bed? I've got self sticking patches ready to go - obviously it wont stick and seal on to flock so how or what's the best way of removing it?... I'm all ears! lol and thanks in advance :-)

I am ditching the airbeds once I have moved over to camp bed + SIM combination, as I do not wish to be without a bed in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere.

Good luck with yours and I hope you can mend it so as to give you more use out of it.

I used quick setting epoxy resin to repair a split in the flock on my air bed. I just cleaned the area with meths, then spread the epoxy over about a one inch area. It held up for a few weeks then punctured in another area. None of the punctures were caused by sharp pointy things. ????

I only use canvas style air beds now as extra support, but not as an actual bed.

P.S. this is an Aerobed, came with a 3 year guarantee and although this does not cover punctures, could this leak be classed as a failure in the seam and therefore still be under guarantee? bed is about 2 yrs old-ish? and survived many a camping trip :-)
