Patch Kit?

I know its New years day and that is normally a different kind of post but tomorrow is my daughters 18th birthday. This year shes having a sleepover. Although, My air mattress had a hole in it. Now I thought if its just in the plastic side that's a simple fix some packing tape would seal it up.

But nothing is ever easy in my world is it? the hole was not only on the side of the mattress, but it was FUZZY.... tape just isn't gonna work.

So i took a shot... I thought what harm could it do? Its already ruined, cuz if it doesn't hold air I might as well throw it out. So, I drained all the air out of it and sealed the hole up with acrylic artificial nail stuff. The stuff you use over nail tips, and it actually worked! The thing holds air.
