Patch kit failure rate

In your experience, how often do patch kits actually work? I've tried them twice, and twice they have failed as I was reinflating the tube. Last time was two days ago. I had a pinhole puncture, which seems ideal for patching, but air started escape from the same hole (patched) at about 30 psi.

Am I just doing it wrong? Or maybe do I have a lousy patch kit?
