I assume that the glue has some solvent in it that is banned in the US, since it worked (on SEAMS!). I truly thought that the adhesive was going to be pushed thru the holes and glue the mattress sides together when I clamped it, but it didn’t. It fairly obviously melted into the vinyl and patch and seems (or is it “seams”?) to be holding. ![]() I’m sure it helps to let the mattress material and the patch flex with each other and not just crack back open when I refill it. ![]() The fresh adhesive removed the old patch stuff, so I was basically relying on the vinyl patch to hold the new flexible glue in place while it cured. I used some sort of Chinese “Shoe Goo” knockoff and clamped the flexible plastic/vinyl patch in place over too much Shoe Goo. Probably didn’t help much - I was afraid of shredding the skin, again, like grandma. I scrubbed the surface just a bit with a bicycle tube scrubber. The old adhesive was obviously old and unsticky, kind of like grandma, but it would still stretch and contract, unlike grandma. Stick: Using your fingers, plastic squeegee, or roller, press firmly on the surface and remove any creases, air pockets. Peel: Remove backing and apply to a clean, dry surface. Using a high-quality scissor or razor blade, cut to desired dimensions, leaving the backing on the tape. I managed to take some old, clear 2"x2" self-adhesive repair patches that came with the mattresses and get them to work (on seams)! So far… Always use a patch large enough to cover beyond the tear or hole. My big question would be, how flexible the Alien tape would be, especially over time.Īll my air mattresses develop holes at the seams. He proudly announces:“The regiment has decided to if it has a hole in it, I’d have to call that “porous”. The Scottish soldier marches back into the chemists and addresses the proprietor, this time with a grin on his face. The Scot painstakingly folds the condom into the silk square handkerchief and the cotton bandana, replaces it carefully in his sporran, and marches out of the door, shoulders back and kilt swinging.Ī moment or two later the chemist hears a great shout go up outside, followed by an even greater shout. “How much for a new one?” “Ten pence” says the chemist. "How much to repair it?’ The Scot asks the chemist. The chemist holds it up and eyes it critically. The condom has a number of patches on it. Very carefully he opens his sporran and pulls out a neatly folded cotton bandana, unfolds it to reveal a smaller silk square handkerchief, which he also unfolds to reveal a condom. A Scottish Soldier, in full dress uniform, marches into a pharmacy.
