Default Elmer's Rubber Cement is not the vulcanizing kind!

I finally got a chance to use these on my inner tubes for my 27" x
1-1/4" tires (100 psi) and found out that they don't really stick
permanently. *The next day I discover that some part of the patch has
breached.


In trying to figure out what I did wrong (I have successfully patched
other tires before using the glue from patch kits), I figure it's that
I'm either using too thick of a layer of Elmer's or that this rubber
cement really isn't the vulcanizing kind.


What do you guys think?


Where can I buy (in bulk) a large amount of the vulcanizing cement
from at the best price?


Y'see what a Pandora's can o' worms you've opened? * ;-) *;-) *;-)

Might as well have started another chain cleaning/lubrication thread.


Might have already happened.
