I’ve got a lightweight inflatable camping pillow, an trekology aluft 1.0. Its done very well and I like it very much. However, it has sprung multiple pinhole leaks on one side of it. This makes me suspect that the fabric has aged and failed rather than a single externally cause puncture. I would like to coat the inside of the fabric with something to plug the holes and perhaps prevent others. I know of the “tire in a can” products and the bike tire ‘slime’, but I don’t know if those would be suitable. I’m looking for suggestions (cheap?..the pillow costs $16…I don’t want to spend $10 fixing it) on what to coat the inside with. Does the slime ever dry or does it remain goopy? Any thoughts on this? I’ve bought a replacement, so this is essentially an experiment waiting to be carried out. ---

I used to fix holes in an air bed with a mixture of baking soda and super glue. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Sq5YJbZXaZk/maxresdefault.jpg "BRILLIANT IDEAS with BAKING SODA and SUPER GLUE") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq5YJbZXaZk)
