Well, the red mat doesn't leak anymore. Tested overnight and it was as inflated in the morning. E6000 really does work on this material, especially if it can have the day curing, but it'll need an air out for a while. The mat likely popped when I left it fully inflated in a sunny tent on a hot day. These "quilted" ones are an extremely weak design.

Unfortunately, it's the warmer green one that's my favorite and it continues to have a small leak somewhere after getting bitten by an animal multiple times while I abandoned it for a summit bid. Could not find the hole dipped in a (clean) cow trough, covered in soap, or dipped in a tub. All the cleaning seems to be making the leak smaller, though?
