Used electrical tape to smooth the patch over more. I over-pumped the tires and also hit bumps and what not with them, patch doesn't seem to be moving, which was my biggest concern. Would anyone suggest drilling holes at the ends of the slice to prevent further tearing? There is a slight bump every time the patch hits the road, but not big deal for me as they are bikes i'm selling and yes, I will disclose that the tire was patched.
