How do I find the leak in my air bed?
Question:Came home at 4am last night to find my airbed looking like a sagging souffle. Great. It's been good for 2 years but there must be micro leak somewhere. My bed has light fabric lining on the top.
Answers:
All i think of ...is try putting it in the bath and seeing the leak that way before repairing,then drying. The inner-tube method(sort of)
put it in a bath and look for the bubbles
squirt bottle..small amount of liquid soap....water..put air in and spray bed all over.bubbles will appear where the leak is...good luck
use a cloth to put dish soapy water on it till you see bubbles. then glue or patch it.
First try airing it up, a little too much maybe, then listen very carefully at seams and places it was likely to be injured. Failing that, the only way I know is get it wet and look for bubbles.
If you cannot hear it and you cannot feel it by passing your hand over the bed in a uniform fashion, then fill a spray bottle with water and spray it on the airbed while applying pressure so air is forced out. The water will bubble or move away from the place where the air is being forced out.
