I guess I would have tried to completely remove the first patch and start again dealing with the original punture. That might not have been easy to do if the old patch (the part still attached to the tube) was really bonded to the tire. Anyway just goes to show that it's worth trying an idea out to see if it will work.
That's correct, I did not cover the entire patch, only about 1/2 of it. I've tried to remove a patch before and it's just too difficult and figured it was not worth the effort. I've done many, many patch jobs and got many tubes with tons of patches, because I like to keep a tube as long as possible, but I draw the line at removing patches, I'll buy an new tube first
