Yep, the patch I put on two weeks ago, and expressed reservations about here (https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=19983500&postcount=495) failed today on a ride through the Pine Barrens. It was strange. I hit a bump hard and it felt like I had pinch flatted. Sure enough the tire went flat. But it wasn't a pinch flat; a patch was leaking.
I replaced the patch, using glue on both the tube and the patch this time, and taking extra care to be sure the glue dried. I think it was a success.
