An issue with patch kits.

Why is it when you buy a patch kit, they give only you a couple of patches.
You wind up using all the patches and are left over with 3/4 of the tube of
glue. We have more tubes of glue than we can think of what to do.

Why can't they just include more patches equal to the amount of glue that
they give you?

I've been cutting some in half, most holes are pretty small.

On a different note: Are the patch kits with glue significantly stronger
than the glueless self sticking patches? I have a couple on my rear tube,
and have had for about a month now. They have held so far.....

It's in case you shoot 3/4 of the glue across the floor when you first
pierce the foil seal.......ahem.

Martha Stewart says when you do retire a tube, patched or not, cut circles
out of the remaining good parts to use as patches on the new tubes. Then,
use the remaining leftover glue you have lying around.

Re-using old tubes: it's a good thing.

Better than other way around, of course.

I never seem to have glue on hand when I need it. Superglue dries up
immediately once opened, and other types simply disappear.

Maybe I should start buying glue-type patch kits! (I get the cheapie
stick-on ones, and they actually have worked well for me.)

Nearly sorted,

Holy **** - I have tried this so many times. I sanded the tube fragment,
applied the glue, waited to dry, mashed it down, waited overnight, start to
pump, and psssssssssssssssssssssss it goes.

Seriously, has anyone here used the glue with an old inner tube and gotten
it to work? It can't be the florida humidity...
