patching is cool but its not always practical.
Most of the time I'm riding a bike with tires at 100 psi or more. Consequently, these are the tubes I patch most often and the high PSI is not a problem. Could it be the type of patch you're using? I've had good luck with the Remi Tip Tops mentioned earlier in the thread but I've used other types of patches with success as well.
