  1. i found this maybe it well help you its not my idea

    Paint is not the answer. Once dried, there is no smell. But it has no sealant or adhesive properties. However, I liked the idea that I could just spray paint away my mattress leak, so I tried it. Since I couldn't find Krylon H2O paint in Aerobed mattress blue, I went with gray, so my chances of reselling this now unsightly mattress on Ebay are slim to none.

    After I moved recently, my king size Aero bed mattress deflated rapidly after being filled. It was unusable for sleeping since it would require hourly refills to keep me from feeling the bed slats.

    I removed it from the bed & filled it & listened for the leak & easily located where it was leaking. I should have just patched the puncture & be done with it, but I had already purchased the paint.

    After wasting my time & money on many coats of the H2O paint over many days - and even taping over the leak between coats to "help" the paint seal the leak - only to watch the air bubble out again - I washed & peeled off all of the tape & as much of the latex paint as I could from around the leak, deflated the mattress so there was no air pressure on the leak & generously applied Shoe Goo directly onto the punctured area.

    I was prepared to add masking tape if necessary, since I did not still have the original patch kit. But 24 hours after I applied the Shoe Goo, I filled the mattress to capacity & it has stayed that way (so far, just a few days).

    I've owned 2 of these Aero beds, & over years of daily use, both have sprung a "leak". The Queen sized Aerobed merely had a part of the pump casing unscrewed & once I tightened that, it was fine. The king size was fine until I just recently moved - I think that the movers were pretty rough.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think that an Aero bed brand air mattress would tend to have weak seams. My 5 year old neice & 10 year old nephew used my Queen size Aero bed as a trampoline when I took it to Florida for our vacation in 2002. All 3 of us slept on it that week.

    If your Aero bed starts to deflate, I would suggest checking the motor area & the deflation cap at the other end first to be sure that both are secure. If so, then fill it up & listen for a leak - try to find & patch the precise leak with the Aero Bed patch kit or Shoe goo.

    Worst case scenario would be if your bed deflates & there is no obvious leak. Other than immersing a fully inflated air bed in a still body of water to look for bubbles, (and how do you keep the motor dry?), all I could think to do would be to call a tire repair shop (car or bicycle - or maybe even a place that sells large rafts?)& see if they can help or make suggestions.

    Or maybe the Aero bed company could help?


  2. At the bicycle store, they sell repair kits. They work on anything and the glue sticks well.
