Patching the tube at home with glue patches, I would typically find the little tube of glue dried up. So now I have a jar of Elmer's Rubber Cement, 4 fl oz. It's worked well, so far.
I had a Glueless Patch box for about 3 years and they still worked...BUT...to be safe, since I don't know how long they will last, you should replace them after 1 year since it's cheap insurance (about $2 for 6).
Most of you would probably go through 6 patches before a year was up anyways.
