I have some tubes over 10 years old with as much as 10 patches on them and they have no problems. A patch well installed holds. If it leaks, it's not well done. I'll repeat was has been said many times:
  1. Sand
  2. Clean
  3. Glue
  4. Let it dry about 5 minutes
  5. Install patch
  6. Hold a couple of seconds
