    After 6 years the inevitable has happened.

    Hastily set up sleep site in a bothy and i managed to sleep on a staple embedded in the paint :/ it was obvious in the daylight,

    Woke up on a flat neoair after a good nights sleep.

    Ive found the hole – its in the bottom – its a pin prick as you would expect.

    The base is polyester – so ive been advised not to use a puncture repair kit – vulcanising rubber is not what i need apparently.

    I have a stormsure repair kit – looking through that im wondering if i can get away with just using the glue – even if it is on the outside of something under tension – which is similar to a tent where even stormsure suggest not using theri glue.

    Ive been reading other pages that say a drop of superglue on the hole should seal it.

    The hole is in one of the valleys of the ridges on the bottom so getting a good seal with a patch is going to be hard

    Don’t they come with a repair kit? Could’ve sworn mine did, but I may be misremembering.

    If it’s a pinhole, you might get away with just smearing glue over it. I did that with a Fat Airic a while back.

    Nah , mine didnt even come with a stuff sack . I bought it back before they had come to te uk – so potentially olde than 6 years even :/

    Aye am tempted to try smear of stormsure over it and let it dry. Will “need” to go take it for a test ride after though 😉

    I dug out some kind of Field Repair kit – alcohol swaps, Tear-Aid Patch Type A and a couple of little stick on (like Park patches) — happy to send some or all. This was also an NeoAir – all round or trekker or similar.

    Stick some fabric on top of the glue, just a little offcut of tent fabric or something, should make it a bit more robust. That or good old duct tape!

    Try this stuff, amazingly flexible / tough after it sets.

    need to borrow someones bath.

    Wipe it over with a cloth/sponge dipped in soapy water, the leak will show.
