I have a Fender Step which I stored too near the heater exhaust resulting in a small leak. Can anyone suggest a way of repairing fender leaks?

You might, just possibly and so long as you do not inflate too hard afterwards, seal it off with a hot soldering iron. Adding some compatible polythene or whatever will thicken over where you have to push some adjacent material (melted) into the hole. Otherwise, well, whilst your goose may not be cooked, your fender step probably is!

I had a blown fender - squashed by the boat - and fixed it by forcing bath sealant into the wound, then letting it set (with the wound at the bottom) and gently inflating to encourage the goo to reappear a little.
That was 3 years ago, it's still hard and in regular use.

foam
failing a suitable repar why not inject foam (from a can at hardware stores) into the damaged one at least you wont have to throw it away when all else fails.

The stuff used on bikes (green slime) would be rubbish. It "hardens" into threads when exposed to air, but will only work on small holes. It works on a bike partly because the inner tube is surrounded by a trye that retains the slime while it hardens. On a fender, it would simply ooze out, or lie in the bottom of the fender (tyres on wheels turn round & distribute the gunge all round the tube).
