Can I use something else besides Vinyl Cement to repair my air bed?
March 17th, 2010 | by admin |Please help me. Hurry. My hubby is falling asleep and I ran out of vinyl cement to patch it with. I don’t need patches, just adhesive? Help?
I tried duct tape and it still isn’t holding. It’s kinda fuzzy, it’s an ozark?
Thanks friends. I’ll try the bicycle patch followed with the duct tape. LOL!
Make sure when repairing that it is blown up to the max so the repair forms to the place. Clean and dry the place needing repair from dirt, and debri. Rubbing alcohol or warm soapy Scruff the area up the size of a quarter with a nutmeg grater or someting of the sort very lightly enough for some filaments to stand up. Apply a strong adhesive that does require heat. Heat melts the plastic. Rubber cement helps and patch it with a clean thin(close to paper thin) rubber material. Make sure that the material is cleaned. From a spare tire not in use, old tube or hose. You can try the duct tape and rubber cement together. Press and stroke from center out, be sure to have no bubbles between which will weaken the bind. super glue dries to quick, but last resort to use. If you have acetone it’ll melt the plastic, and hopefully bind it. But you’ll have to sit pinching the stuff together and then duct tapin it.
