Odor: The adhesive in most repair kits has a strong, unpleasant odor. If you’re sensitive to certain smells, look for a repair kit that has a more tolerable odor.

Not every repair kit can repair every type of damage. If you have a small pinhole that is slowly leaking air, then any type of repair kit will work (as long as it’s suitable for the material). If you have a small tear or larger hole, some of the repair kits might not be effective. Even fewer repair kits can handle a long slash or tear. The worst damage for an inflatable to sustain is a split along the seam because there’s nothing to stop the entire seam from opening up. It is rare to find a repair kit that can fix a split seam. How repair kits work The first step you’ll need to do is figure out if your yard inflatable’s blower is working.
