My $80 sleeping pad failed on night 1 in the Smokies

I bought this insulated pad from a big box store thinking it would hold up. By 2 AM I was lying on cold ground with a slow leak I couldn't find. Anyone else had luck patching these things on the trail?

Jeez that's rough, waking up on cold ground is the worst. I actually just heard someone say you can patch with Seam Grip and a piece of a water bottle or snack wrapper for a field fix. @uma_reed26 probably had the stream idea, but in the dark at 2 AM, ain't nobody got time for that. How did you end up handling the rest of your trip?

Did you try submerging it in a stream to find the hole...?
