Hello Hugh
I had the very same problem.
My solution was to use screw in tyre valves with large washers and rubber sealing washers the same size. The inner washer was soldered to the tyre valve to prevent any leaks. The inflatable is very elastic so you can stretch it to get the inner washer and valve assemble inside. I had tried to seal the original valve with glue but gave up. This way required no sealant at all.
Outside view.
Inside view showing soldered washer (not very clear I'm afraid)
Hope that helps.
