rubber cement works best when it adhers to itself. I always apply a thin coat to both the tahr and the patch (whether the patch is a tube piece or fully qualified rema patch...), let dry fpr one episode of jeopardy, then stickem together.
Oh, I would throroughly clean a karge section of old tube, before cutting to some smaller pieces - much easier than cleaning a small piece...

very much more kool sound than a disk wheel whoosh-whoosh
only ever rode Pistas a couple weeks - back then Kissena ( in NY) was way too rough and bumpy - too much like riding cyclocross... went back to some v-nice Barum cottons for track. The Crit setas were kept for good-course crits. I sold the Pistes.
