Hello! My air pillow has air coming out from the seam where my finger is at.
Should I try to put some super glue on it? Or any idea of what could I do?
I staying at a Warmshower now, so I have access to some tools to help me in any case.
Thanks!

Thermarest use uv curing glue to fix small punctures. I had an Exped pillow that leaked in the same place as you’ve highlighted. The UV glue trick worked for about 2 weeks until the air leaked again. I scrapped the exped pillow. I cut it open and saw the whole seam was slowly peeling apart.
Air pillows are about €2 at action or another cheap store.
I have only fixed a seam hole once that worked well for long term. This was a neo air polar 2, which has quite a different seam.
I personally use a tiny tube of diving sealant – designed to be waterproof yet a bit flexible which prevents brittleness and recracking.
Submerge in a sink, sharpie the hole, dry and plug
