Anyway, what seems to happen is the cheap patches I have are peeling. I inflated it and can see the edges of the orange rubbery layer of the patch starting to pull apart from both the tube and from the black top layer of the patch. I think it might have something to do with also that this was a hard puncture to patch - it was two close together and both were on two different seams of the tube. I sanded the seams down but they were still bumped out a little. I figured the better vulcanizing glue would help. But I also just think these cheap orange and black patches are to blame. It seems as though once inflated they pull apart.


These are the patches similar: Both the circle and rectangle ones I have:

What's a good brand of just patches? I only need patches I have glue. I don't want to waste money on a kit. Can you please link from ebay a good deal on just quality patches? Thanks
