Thread: Repairing sleeping mat

Hey team.

I have a Thermarest Prolite mat that has a pin prick leak on the bottom. Was thinking of just using a bike puncture repair. If anyone has a better way to fix a hole I’m all ears

Go to a camping store, they should have a repair kit for a thermarest.

Nice that will do it!

Cheers team

Aquafix if it's just a pinhole. Those patches are good for stabs and tears, aquafix is a rubberised goop that you store in the freezer and when it thaws out it goes on and the solvent flashes off leaving a rubbery material stuck to the thing you want repaired. It is dynamite on wetsuits, it will seep through and stick two sides of a wetsuit together so you can't get your leg in - that was one of the funniest things I've seen on a diving job!

I used two tubes of that stuff to make a 2XL wetsuit into a large. Bloody brilliant stuff.

The repair kits from what I have seen with exped ones are basically super glue.
Put a spot on the hole.
The trouble is finding the hole.
