I gave up on roadside glue-type patches years ago. I keep a spare tube and Park stick-on patches in my saddle bag. It's a couple years since I needed to use any of the instant patches. I USED TO patch tubes and reuse them, but then one failed after a couple months. It was on a wheel-on trainer, not the road, fortunately. But that put me off of patching tubes for reuse, because it could have happened while I was descending at > 30 mph.
