Fold the patch in half (it also makes you pinch the tube in place...a good thing). Plastic should split in the middle. Peel the plastic from the middle towards the outside of the patch. If you peel the plastic from the outer edge, you can lift the patch if it hasn't set completely.

Or leave it on. It doesn't hurt anything.
