single serving patch glue?

I bought some stick on patches at Wally World with the idea of using them as a backup for my spare tube and multiple flats.

So today, had a pinch flat and I had missed half of the snake bite on my spare. Had to reach into my stash of stick on patches and the "Slime" brand patches didn't hold long enough to even get back on my bike. Passerby in pickup gave me a ride home.

I have used patch kits with glue, but the glue can dry, especially once the tube is opened I have a package of 100 rema patches, so I can roll my own spare kit if I can find the small tubes of glue. You guys may be able tg help me avoid endless hours searching if you know where I can get some.

Even though I've seen posts saying that stick-on patches can be used with careful preparation and suspect that Park brand patches would be much better, I gave up on stick-on patches long ago. Glue at the least is more forgiving about preparation.

thanks
