Any advice would be appreciated. Aside from the separation occurring at the valve, these mattresses are in near perfect condition and would regather repair them than toss them.
Cheers

Need to re-glue the valve body to the material on a couple of ALDI brand self inflating mattresses, and am wondering what the best type of glue would be for this - araldite, epoxy, superglue, shoe goo, superglue?

I take it they are a vinyl PVC type of plastic nipple [ for want of a better word ] .. I would use some PVC pipe Jointing adhesive, the green or blue type .. make sure to thoroughly scuff and clean the surfaces to be glued with a light emmery cloth and Isocol alcohol and clamp both glued sections till fully set https://www.bunnings.com.au/protek-125ml-type-n-blue-cement-solvent_p4750114 (https://www.bunnings.com.au/protek-125ml-type-n-blue-cement-solvent_p4750114)

I’ve got some shoe goo here - think I’ll give that a go on one first and see how it works.
