[MENTION=252435]RubeRad[/MENTION], my memory seems not to go back four years to asking that question. I don't remember the bike I was dealing with. But anyway, I use Elmer's rubber cement in a bottle I get at the drug store. I know that according to the chemists, this can't work. I must be either lying or delusional, but whatever it is, it's been like this for years.

I use the little tubes that come in patch kits but only for roadside repairs. Occasionally I check my tool kit to make sure it hasn't dried out. You could probably put glue in a small vial to carry. Hmm I just threw some unused vials out today, thinking I'd never need them. I better fish them out of the garbage. Your question is well timed, so thanks for asking. It will lead to an experiment.
