We got a split in one of the circles on the top surface and after a few hols, it's failed. We're out of glue, so what's the best type to buy?
It looks like it'll be easier to glue a patch on while it's flat, when it's inflated, it'll be awkward to glue on.
But, is there a chance of glueing the 2 sides together if you patch without it inflated?
Is there any kind of sealant we could apply before patching?
Any other air bed patching tips, throw 'em this way, ta!

Have you got any tenacious tape? If so, in the instructions they also have a glue product you can buy that works with it for airbed repairs. I my opinion standard repair glue never works.

Yes, we have some of that tape. Not sure how long it lasts, we've had it a few years and never had to use it, thankfully.
I'll look up the glue :)

We've had it 3, maybe 4 years, though it's only been used once a year in that time.
We used regular patch glue which held ok, but it split on two more of the same circles, pretty catastrophically, so we ditched it and bought a bog standard blue one, without separate sides :( to tide us over.
Probably stick with that while it lasts, then review.

I tried to repair a very small hole in one recently. The repair failed so I binned it and replaced it with a Camping Gaz Airbed which came with a 2 year guarantee.

Forget about glue or patches everyone just get a pack of Intex self adhesive clear vinyl repair patches, great for airbed repairs. Got mine from Amazon, take them away every time. Only about £2 a pack, and, patches are about 2" square Great to have.
