This thread is to report what I am doing/discovering and for input from others on my issues and any extra that they can think of that may be of use to people with similar problems.
Okay. While most of you were sleeping under snowdrifts I was hard at work in my swimming pool looking for leaks in 3 air mattresses (all IM's by the way - I've never had one leak).
Mattress 1. BA QCore SL Mummy. Found a pinhole leak which I am about to patch. I will be using this pad in 2 weeks time for a few nights so will report back the effectiveness of the patch in about 3 weeks.
Mattress 2. BA QCore Insulated (25inch by 78inch). This is an enormous mat. It is also supremely comfortable until the air goes out.
Due to it's size it is extremely difficult to push it under water (I think at least 4 of me could float on it). I am so far unable to locate the leak(s). I will try agin with someone helping and will report further.
Mattress 3. NeoAir 25inch by 78inch (the original style Limon "crinkly" one).
I have found numerous small leaks along the topside of several the "weld lines" that run across the mat. Due to the number of them I am considering options. My current thought is to use seam sealer and run a line of it across all the affected lines (and a few more probably). I would appreciate some comment as to whether people think this is a good idea. The mattress is probably now in the "excess to requirements" category (I have 3 other mattresses) but I dislike having something that is "broken".
