Step 2Cap It
When the mattress is puffed up enough I shove my thumb in the intake and bend it to puff up the thumb muscles. That seals it while I hunt around for the cap. Usually there's a rubber plug with a lip and a screw cap to go over that.
Because the air mattress has so much surface area only a few psi are needed to inflate it properly (or pop it). (pounds per square inch * square inches = many pounds)
Next we'll find the leak. One way is to paint soapy water all over it and look for big soap bubbles. It's a sunny day so I'm going to take it swimming and look for bubbles in the water.
