Leaking sleep pad.

[*zap*]

Best way I have found. Bucket soapy water and a fine bristle paint brush.
Find leak and clean the whole pad then patch.

Is that product working well for you with no actual "patch" ?

Or take the Eazy-E approach. Throw it in the gutter and go by another!

I’ve tried, and I have never found a good long-term solution for a thermarest leak. Let us know how the patch holds up.

That works fine. No issues with keeping air in after.
The pad I sleep on at home has 3-4 patches like that and keeps air. Probably have 400 or more nights on it-thermarest trail scout. Sometimes I put uncle lou's stealth straps over and put seal seal around the edge but just seam seal wp works by itself. Just let it cure for 24 hrs.
I do put the seam seal on while it is aired up and you can see it bubble a bit. I think in between bubbles it draws the sealant in. After an hour or so I open the deflate valve.

I've had a bicycle innertube patch on my Xtherm since 2016. I've used that pad more than any other, probably a couple dozen nights a year.

I just use a spray bottle with soapy water. And I use UV Aqua Seal.

i sent my leaking thermarest back to thermarest and they sent me a brand new pad. i bet they put it up for an ad some where- it had a metal valve.

i think they used to advertise they would fix a leak.

24 hrs later. Fully aired up-no leak.
