Does anyone use those "glue-less" patches?

I've used some of the PARK glue-less patches. Sometimes they are
permanent and other times like you they seem to be temporary to get
you home. It's REALLY important to have the tube absolutely clean
before applying those patches.

Park glueless patches are okay at best for tube repair. However,
they make a great tire boot. Say, after you stop and change the
tube and pull the nail/screw/bottle-opwner from your tire, then
stick a glueless patch over the hole in the tire. Stays put, and
plenty strong enough to prevent a blowout.
