Here is a way I learned to patch. It makes the world of difference:

Turns out I have that "stiching" tool already. Bought it 30 years ago as a tool for replacing the aluminum mesh on screen doors. Works great for that purpose, never have needed it for bicycle patches.

Your link to the tool at Amazon says it is out of stock. It can be bought from several sources, including Amazon as a "spline roller tool."

How do you carry the buffing liquid with you when you are cycling?

Thanks for the heads up on the link.

For the buffing liquid, I have a small bottle about half the size of the sandpaper that comes in the kit. It will last, I would assume, 10 patches worth. You can use something similar with an eye dropper. Works wonders. Dont take too deep of a wiff of that stuff. Stinks.
