SIMs deflating - repairable?

[ojalele]

We are camping in Italy. 2 of our 4 SIMs are deflating.
Isnit possible to repair them? If so, how do I go about it?

They were v. expensive :(

Oh no! Is it the valve leaking, or a puncture, do you think?

Also, in Italy, the air will be v hot in tne day and then cool (a bit) at night. Are they getting softer as the hot air cools and shrinks? That is a common cause of air beds going down. But SIMS have less air.

Punctures can be repaired with gaffer (duct) tape.

Have the kids been jumping on them?

You could take them to a laundry sink and are where they bubble. If it's the valve (if check that area first). You could try buying a bostick like glue for plastics (not super glue, is sort of rubbery ifykwim) and gumming it up. Valves can be replaced once in uk. On side/elsewhere puncture repair kit should work. U can get specific repair kits but possibly not in Italy

Thanks! I'll check tomorrow

It's not the temp difference as I inflated it at 3am and by 7am it was flat again :(

I nicked one of the kids' sim's for tonight and gave her a airbed that we had going spare (thankfully - I'll never shout at dh again for slogging along too much stuff)
