WPK Waterbed Patch Kit

I recently tried this product and was amazed that it did all it claimed to do. If you are wary of product claims I can tell you without reservation this product is worth every cent.

Had help with initially drying the wet surfaces so could find the location of the leak. I needed to 'hold' the mattress away from the bed so used my kitchen pots & pans to give me room to work. Once the mattress was braced away, I was able to use one hand to hold the affected area & the other to dry it & apply the patch. The hardest part was the patch material comes all rolled up & so it wants to roll back & doesn't easily lay flat until it's applied.

Works good if your surface is clean and dry. I had 5 holes in my air mattress and it worked well on four of them. One hole just kept leaking no matter what I did. I used two entire packages before totally giving up.

Patched my waterbed after my lovely cat used her claws to put in pinholes. These used to be sold in store, but I can only find them online now. The area being patched must be fully and completely dry, as any wetness or moisture will prevent proper adhesion. Arrived fast and in time with Prime 2-day.

Looked like it would be a handy way to repair the occasional leak a waterbed gets, so I bought a pack. Directions were simple and applying the patch was straightforward. It is important to roll a patch on to avoid air bubbles. 1st time I made a repair for this small pinhole, I cut a patch about 1.5" in a rough circle. That lasted about 2 weeks. Cleaned the old patch off, they will pull if done slowly and carefully (that should have been my clue). 2nd time I used a full square; that lasted a couple months, but the water won; I was able to pull that patch off as well (another clue). 3rd, and last try, I cleaned the old patch off, cleaned the vinyl with a citrus cleaner, wiped that off with soapy water, rinsed, and left it to dry for a day. Very lightly scuffed the vinyl with 400grit sandpaper. Wiped that clean and let dry. Very carefully applied another full patch with a small hard roller I use putting veneer on. Patch was weighted flat overnight to allow full cure. That was in late May, this year. So it "held" for about 3 months. Currently draining while I type this. These pre-glued patches might work fine for an air mattress, or something that doesn't hold water, but they do not work for a waterbed mattress, despite what they are labeled.

These are perfect for waterbed punctures. They are larger and much easier to apply than glue patches.

Peel and stick - no glue needed. We did our repair two weeks ago, and it's still holding up. That isn't to say that it won't fail after a longer time. But at least it would be easy to replace.

Product didn’t seal well I had to put 3 patches on one hole . Threw the mattress in the trash
