Inflatable beds are prone to damage during use, but fortunately, many common issues can be easily repaired. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of repairing different types of damages that may occur to your supplementary airbed. From patching pinholes to fixing scratches and scalds, we’ve got you covered. Let’s get started!
Part 1: Repairing Pinholes
Pinholes are small needle holes caused by accidents like needle pricks or wood thorns. Here’s how you can repair them:
- Deflate the airbed and cover the gas nozzle to reduce airflow.
- Use the glue provided in your repair kit and put a drop on the needle eye.
- For larger needle holes, dip a toothpick into the glue and carefully fill the damaged area.
- Wait four hours before inflating the bed again.
Part 2: Fixing Scratches or Scalds
When your inflatable bed gets scratched by a knife or experiences a big hole due to scalding, follow these steps:
- Deflate the airbed and cover the gas nozzle to reduce airflow.
- Cut a patch from the material provided in your repair kit. Ensure it covers the entire damaged area.
- Apply glue to the damaged area and press the patch firmly onto it.
- Secure the edges of the patch with additional glue.
- Apply pressure using smooth and heavy objects to ensure a tight seal.
- Wait eight hours before inflating the bed again.
Part 3: Repairing Suede Damages
If the suede surface of your inflatable bed is damaged, you can fix it using the following method:
- Clean the repaired area carefully.
- Cut a patch from the material in your repair kit, making it slightly larger than the damaged surface.
- Apply a layer of glue to both the patch and the damaged surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Secure the edges of the patch with additional glue for a strong seal.
- Apply pressure using smooth and heavy objects onto the repaired area.
- Wait 24 hours before inflating the bed again.
Other Considerations:
- Avoid overinflating your airbed, especially during the hot summer months, as it can lead to damaging the bed’s drawstring. Overloading the drawstring may cause the bed surface to bulge, rendering it irreparable.
- Handle the repair glue with care as it is a chemical substance. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not swallow it.
With these step-by-step instructions, you can confidently repair different types of damages that may occur to your inflatable airbed. Remember to follow the guidelines provided and exercise caution when using repair glue. By taking proper care of your airbed, you can extend its lifespan and continue to enjoy restful nights of sleep.
