Is there something special to do like, I dunno, burning the rubber cement with a match or something or can the regular procedure (clean surface, apply cement, wait until dry, press patch firmly, wait) be also used ?
What I do is that I cut pieces of the ones that comes with the kit. ie, 6 pieces out of the large oval one and 4 pieces out of the circular ones. I've used these small patches for years without problems.
