Airstop

Forget purchasing other repair or vinyl patch kits. This stuff works wonders! I have a fairly expensive queen airbed that was accidentally damaged by one of our guests. The damage seemed irrepairable because there were several long slid of tears on the surface of the air bed. Each tears were 4-5 inches long! Not only so, but the inside of the airbed is just vinyl, but the top surface is made of a layer of soft furry material (kind of like velvet). So I was worried that any repair liquid/patch kit would not mend this material since it's not a direct contact with vinyl. I bought this to give it a try, hoping it can save my airbed from being tossed to the trash can, and I'm so glad I did! This stuff really works! I followed the instructions somewhat, applying a layer every few minutes with a fan blowing in the room for ventilation (this stuff smells pretty toxic when you open it up). The instructions said for large repairs, use a patch of vinyl. However, I didn't have any. So I took a risk and tried to repair the long tear with direct application with this stuff. Since the tear was so large, I used binding clips to hold the two sides of the tear together and apply the first 3 layers, with 5-10 mins. drying time between each application. Afterwards, I applied few more layers, again with 5-10mins of dry time between each application. Then I left it to dry over night. The next day was the moment of truth. I pumped the air bed to ~70% just to test first the durability of the repair. It held on perfectly! So I pumped the air bed to ~90%, stretching the entire air bed to be pretty firm. No leak! No pop! About a week later was the real test. I had a few guests stay over, and two of them slept on this bed for several nights in a row! No issues! There have since been at least 6 guests on several occasions who have slept on this bed after the repair, and no leak so far! You can see the attached images of the repair that I did (images shown with air bed fully inflated). I repaired 3 long slid of tears total. You can see the crack right through between the tear, however this Airstop material hardened itself to completely cover over the entire damaged area. With each coating, after it dries, the liquid hardens and bonds with the vinyl. So the more coating applied, the harder the seal. From the images, I applied 5-6 coatings on the large tears, and about 3 coatings on the smaller tears.. Since it worked so well even on non-direct contact with a vinyl surface, I am sure this stuff will work well with most, if not all vinyl inflatable objects! I highly recommend this product over all other brands and forms of inflatable repair kits! CAUTION: - Use this only in a well ventilated area. This stuff smells really toxic upon opening the cap. - Be careful not to get it on your skin or eyes. This stuff may burn you!

Anyone who has an air mattress knows that feeling when you have a small leak and have the choice: throw it way or try to fix it. Well in the air mattress I had for my kids I found the leak and figured I would give this a try. Standard cleaning the area, get it nice and dry, apply this sealant, let it harden overnight and it worked perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised as I had already planned I would have to buy another air mattress. The kids use this air mattress likely ~ once per month and it's held for nearly a year. So overall a simple to use repair that has worked great.

What is rare about this product? It is a miracle fix-it product that actually works much better than expected. Oddly enough, Coghlan's does not promote it with any outrageous claims, which they should, because it is that good. I bought a Simmons BeautyRest air mattress bed which developed a leak in the seam around the blow up valve after a couple of weeks of use. I was told this could not be patched and to send it back. Since this appeared to be a design flaw that would recur on the replacement, I decided to see if I could deal with it. When I searched for possible products to fix the air bed, I found Coghlan's 8880 Airstop, Coghlan's 8880 Airstop is easy to use, it has an applicator attached to the inside of the lid (you will never lose it), which is handy, but I needed to get the product into the vinyl seam around the round valve and the applicator did not seem to be the right tool for that job. Instead, I used a large kitchen hypodermic needle type device called a "flavor injector" (don't tell my wife), designed to inject marinade into meat. The flavor/8880 Airstop injector worked exceptionally well for this repair, at the cost of one of the injector needles (clogged when I tried to clean it), but the rest of the flavor injector cleaned completely. After injecting Coghlan's 8880 Airstop around the valve and inspecting to making sure it was where it needed to be, I stood it on end to allow it to dry, which it does in just a few minutes. The repair worked exceptionally well, the air bed now holds air, does not leak at all. Upon inspection, the repair looks like it is as permanent as it can get. A little did drip down the side of the mattress, which I missed until it had dried. When I examined the drip, it actually appeared to have somehow become a part of the mattress, as if it were not a drip of a foreign substance but actually part of the beds material. Whatever chemical process occurs between Coghlan's 8880 Airstop and PVC is permanent. I bought 2 bottles, thinking I may need more for the repair, I used less than half of the first bottle (or so it appears to my eye). Almost can't wait for another fix to use this on to see if it is this good with everything.

It worked for us every time. We made sure to follow the instructions precisely. I would recommend.

Da die Kinderluftmatratze und ein Schwimmärmel jeweils an einer Nahtstelle ein Loch hatten war ich auf der Suche nach einer einfachen Möglichkeit der Reparatur und bin auf dieses Produkt gestoßen. Die Verarbeitung ist relativ einfach, man benötigt allerdings schon etwas Zeit, da die Flüssigkeit mehrfach aufgetragen werden muss. Nach Abschluss der Behandlung ist das Loch aber dann sicher und dauerhaft verschlossen. Für kleine Reparaturen ist dieses Produkt sehr zu empfehlen.

I used it to fix my SaluSpa hot-tub air leakage. Because of the place (over the seam), the included patches didn't work well, so I tried this one. It just works! here is what I did: 1. Deflate your tub as much as possible (I kept mine full of water during the repair) to reduce the airflow from inside. 2. Apply a tinny layer to cover the damaged area Wait 10-15 min and repeat step 2. I've repeated it 4-5 times and waited the other day to inflate it again. The final result is great as it fixes the issue and you can barely notice any change in the place you applied it.

Era escéptico con este tipo de pegamentos ya que ninguno se pegaba con fuerza y además había que poner un parche sobre lo dañado y para mi sorpresa, este pegamento solo se necesito colocar, frotándolo suavemente en el área dañada con secado de cada 5 minutos entre aplicación y aplicación y el resultado es buenísimo, sello la picadura del colchón y sello totalmente en cuestión de 30 minutos en que lo deje reposar, lo recomiendo ampliamente vale su precio por tan buen resultado del pegamento, si lo requiriera de nuevo lo volvería a comprar

Used on inflatable bed after my cat punctured it. Small holes, but the glue did the job
