dude.. buy a new tube and admit that you ruined a tube. That thing is thrashed. a large area has been softened by the repeated chemical attacks on the material. wow.
and order a decent patch kit too. Remo and Park work fine. Quit spending HOURS to only find that you've ruined what you tried to salvage.
and a "patch" that big will make flat spot on the tire due to that double-thick area NOT STRETCHING when you inflate the tire/tube.... if it had held..
seriously.
the "holes" on the opposite side look like Tire Iron Marks, for the record... AKA: "Pinch Flat"
