Has anyone done it? All I seem to have achieved is a sticky blob.

The Theremorest is a Pro-lite. Would a bicycle inner tube patch work?

Thanks

From what i remember glue dots don't actually set, they stay sticky. Inner tube patch would probably work better.

I have the same matt, I know you can do a DIY repair, but personaly I would send it of to Cascade in Ireland, if your lucky they will fix it under the life time warranty, if not it could still be worth paying for a pukka repair, I would imagine a new matt is around £80 these days.

I've just repaired a two inch cut on my sim using McNett tenacious tape, I used the clear tape and you just cut a patch about one inch bigger all the way around the cut, you round the edges and stick on. I left it overnight before inflating and its perfect and apparently the patch gets stronger as time goes bye.....

We repaired my thermorest with a bicycle puncture patch some years ago and it is still working.
