There's a market for a new product in there someplace. For F's sake, I'm on my third patch kit, I've been F-ing around with this crap for months now, and only half my patched tubes work. Should be simple. I'm sure it is. Once you know the secret. Sounds like everything else in bike wrenching.
DON'T BUY PATCH KITS.

Get a couple 20 packs of Rema Patches, and a tube of real tire repair rubber cement from a truck stop.

I usually patch a tube once or twice, then pitch it. And I dont patch cuts or snake bites from pinch flats.
