any chance my inflatable chair can be saved?

[pennylane]

i got it as a christmas present the christmas before last, but i didn't bother opening it until last week. however, it turns out there's a hole in it
i haven't been able to find it yet (just feeling around it, listening). but i want to try filling it up with water and seeing if i can find it then.
is there any chance i'll be able to seal it up properly if/when i find it? any special stuff i should use for the sealing of the hole?

Didn't you get a small repair kit with it? If not, and vinyl repair kit from Kmart/WalMart will work. Do NOT fill it with water, the seams will pop and you will have a big mess on your hands, and your floor.

This looks like a job for duct tape.

blow it up and submerge it in water. Where there be bubbles, there be a hole.

Partially submerge it in a bathtub.

take some dishwasher detergent mixed with water... rub it over suspected areas of the hole... if it's leaking air, it'll make a bubble...

the bathtub thing works too
