This is pure BS!! I mentioned this already a thousand times as well as others and still the BS persists. I've used tubes as my main tubes for up to 5 years with as many as 13 glueless patches and not one has ever failed. I've been using nothing but glueless patches for about 18 years on both my spare tubes and my main tubes and never had one fail. It is not mean't to be an emergency on the road get me home so I can do a proper job. Why would anyone use such a patch and waste that much time! Think about, your going to use a glueless patch on the side of the road then go home take the damn tube back out peel the patch off and put on a glue on type...that's insanity! When all you have to do is patch the damn tube with a glue on tube to begin with. The reason glueless patches sell for is because they work!! I don't know one person who would buy a glueless patch to use only to go home and redo the job, if that were true manufactures of glueless patches would have stopped making them years ago due to very low sales. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't want to patch the same hole twice.

Peel off the patch huh? Tell you what, you use a glueless patch and leave it on for the season inside your tire and then try to peel it off and tell me what happens. I'll tell right now what will happen, you'll take a chunk of the tube with the patch! And in that season you're waiting you'll discover the darn patch worked and it didn't leak, the next thing you know you're using them instead of the glue on patches.

There are some bad glueless patches, most of those are found at Walmart, but the good ones are made by Specialized and Park, go outside those brands and I can't vouch for them.
