My Crib Is Leaking!

Ugh. I cannot find the leak, does anyone know why inflatable cribs are so leak prone? It is going down very fast! It can't be any bigger than a pinhole, and I cannot find it!

I also have never heard of an inflatable crib. However if you really want to find the leak AND you don't have a pool. Here's what I would do:

- Mix a solution of about 1/8 th cup of dish washing detergent to one cup of water.

- Mix well

- Grab a rag and slowly go over the entire surface of the "crib"

- Look for bubbles.

Once you see bubbles and not just the ones you are making washing the fluid over the mattress/crib, but a continuing series of bubbles you know where at least one of the leak or leaks are located. After this it is just a matter of obtaining a patch kit and "sealing" the leak.

Best of Luck!

Thanks! I can almost hear the leak, but it evades me I find that putty will stop up the leaks. (My crib is actually an air mattress)
