Hi Fenlander!
Did you simply put (white?) Stormsure flexible repair adhesive over the small hole and that's it OR did you do this AND apply a patch.


If using a patch as well, did you use Stormsure glue and patch or normal repair adhesive and match.



Finally - did you repair it inflated or deflated - any tips?

If you can manipulate the floor so that hole opens up a mm or two then you should find a blob of Stormsure will run into the hole a little before it sets... that's how mine went anyway and gave a good anchor for the repair. Probably best to get the leak area well dried with a hair dryer first.

If that didn't work I'd be confident of patching that OK even given the edge so close to the leak.
