anybody remember the 'Hot Patch'?

gas stations use to patch your tubes for 35 cents. the guy would put the glue on there, light it on fire for a brief moment, and then glue the patch down. don't know what kind of cement they used but it sure was flammable. lots of fumes but the guy didn't care because he usually had a ciggy hanging out of his mouth while he was patchin. they used the hot patch on car tubes when that particular thing was going on. the hot patch would never leak or come off, because the patch was "welded" to the tube.
