I just received my BA Insulated Air Core and it came with a repair kit. It's a simple adhesive and patch. However, Therm-a-rest offers a Hotbond repair kit for use with their pads. The Hotbond kit is supposed to be heated before you apply it to the pad. I figure this would work better and bond more thoroughly than a room temp kit. Has anyone tried a Hotbond kit on a pad other than a Therm-a-rest?
The hot bond stuff pretty much works as advertised and I've used it to patch BA pads. That said, I've patched a LOT of pads with the standard BA repair kits and have not had many problems at all. Their glue & patch system is pretty good overall, just keep your finger oils off the patch you are putting on there and it almost always gets a good seal.
