It's not unusual for an inflatable to develop a hole. Most often, this happens at the seams where two pieces of the inflatable are joined together. If you find a hole in your inflatable, don't despair! There are several ways to fix it.
The first step is to identify the type of fabric the inflatable is made from. PVC and vinyl are the most common fabrics used for inflatables, but there are also nylon and polyester options. Each type of fabric requires a different repair method.
PVC and vinyl can be repaired with a patch kit designed specifically for those materials. The kit will come with instructions on how to apply the patch correctly. Make sure you follow the instructions carefully so that the patch adheres properly and doesn't create another leak.
Nylon and polyester can be mended using a needle and thread or by using adhesive tape designed for repairing fabric tears. Again, make sure you follow any included instructions carefully so that you don't end up making matters worse. Once you've successfully patched the hole, give your inflatable a test run to make sure there aren't any other leaks before putting it back into regular use.
