I got a vinyl pool patch and used a thin coating of silicone caulk on it. While deflated, place a heavy object on the patched area to secure the patch. You need to leave it cure for a full day. Don't use too much silicone or it will seep out around the patch and also secure whatever you have holding it down.<br><b>References : </b><br> I had this problem.

Buy a patch kit for pools or rafts. Cut a large square 2 inch patch. Cut a 1 inch slit in the bed through the hole that is leaking. with the bed deflated and lying flat, fold the patch and insert it into the hole...smooth it flat and center over the hole. Try to get all the wrinkles out. Use a q-tip covered in the adhesive to get glue inside and on the top of the patch. Line everything up, place a piece of wax paper over any adhesive that comes to the surface. Make sure everything is wrinkle free and place a weight over the wax paper and patched area so that it dries without air bubbles or wrinkles that can cause leaks. If you are careful and keep the adhesive inside and cut straight, you might end up with an invisible repair. I never actually used this method, but it should do the trick. I know that you can repair carpet in a similar way. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Here is what I would do…
