The patch material seems to hold up.
I use to use Park Glueless patches for about 30 years, but then they stopped working about 4 years ago. I contacted Park thinking I got a bad batch, even though I bought another box, but they failed too. Park told me that the tube industry changed the composition of the tubes and now they're patches will not hold for more than few hours. Park used to last the life of the tube, now they don't so I switched back to Rema after all those years.
But I have a junk tube, so I'm going to try using Rema glue on a Park glueless and see what happens.
