We have discovered the reason one of our SIM's has been deflating is because it has multiple small holes underneath. My OH says its not worth trying to repair it as it will be impossible to get the repair glue in all the holes. Is there any kind of spray-on glue we could use?

I used tenacious tape as well. Finding the holes was the problem as there were several (cat!) but eventually found them all and there's been no problem since, and that's probably been a couple of years. I needed to wipe a little bit of soapy water on to locate the holes by the bubbles coming out, as they were so small I couldn't find them otherwise.
That's great, thank you David & Sarah. We've located the holes with soapy water and it does look like a cat has been on it - except we don't have one! I think it must have been a small stone on the living room floor when the kids have had sleepovers. I'm too stingy to replace it without even trying to fix it - even if it's only for kept for kids sleepovers! Will get some tape and have a go

I saw a repair kit online that came with a wee plastic jewellers magnifying glass to find the holes.
I will have a look after work to see if I can find it. Think it was Amazon.
Well I found it. It is a bit more ingenious than a magnifying glass
