Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

I've use these to patch my inflatable matress, tent floor, ground cloth, rain cover. These will stick to coated nylon if you clean the area first and use a tire adhesive. I put one patch on both sides of the tear or puncture. Nice little emergency patches for many uses,

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

A tip I found to help patch stay on. Sand around the puncture very well first. Then inflate the tube almost fully so it is stretched out then quickly press the instant patch over the puncture putting pressure on it for a couple of minutes while the tube is almost fully inflated. This will keep it from popping off if you put it on a deflated tube and then the tube expands under the patch when you inflate. The glue on the temporary patches isn't as strong as the rubber cement type patches and it may break away during inflation. I've used these quick patches as well as other brands and find they are ususally temporary. Easier to use in the dark. Find puncture by inflating then rotating the tube near your mouth and you will feel the air escaping. Once home I replace them with a rubber cement type patch.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

My tire got pinched on a detoured road, and thank god I've got the Super Patch from REI, also got a slim pump that helped pumping the tires backup.

There are 2 holes on the side of the tire from pinch, and I've only used one patch to cover them up and the tire pumped backup no problem at all! Must have. The kit contains 6 patches and a sandpaper, so it will definitely last you awhile!

Life Saver! Highly recommended.

This saved me today 20 miles from home. Fast, simple, lightweight. Don't know about the long term, but definitely enough to get me home (at 110 psi).

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

These things simply don't hold. They'll blow off while pumping the tire, or a week later while the bike is simply hanging on the wall. I've gone through about ten. Never had a problem with the old-style patch-and-glue kits and I'm going back to them.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

I have read that glueless patches are supposedly only temporary, but I have used these many times on 26" tubes for small punctures and they've lasted for the remaining life of the tube. I am very thorough when cleaning, though: I clean, buff, clean again, dry, then apply. The kit weighs essentially nothing and takes up essentially no space; therefore, even if you prefer to carry a vulcanizing kit this is nice to have as another backup. I have yet to use one on my road bike (27" tires at 100 PSI) because I've yet to get a flat on it, so it's possible they might not work permanently with the higher pressure.

Great patch, but not perfect.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

These are the absolute best glueless patches I've used. Simple bond that stays strong, and holds pressure for small punctures (doesn't work with nail-sized holes). From 90 PSI, it takes about 1 week to drop to 60 PSI, which means I have to re-pump every week. [With a new tube, it takes over a month to drop below 60 PSI]. So these are the best available, but if you're looking for a like-new patch, you'd be best off with a vulcanizing patch kit (which is more of a hassle to learn to use).

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

Smaller than a pack of gum, the patch kit fits easily in a biking back pack or an underseat bag. Offers peel-and-sitck convenience, no need to be messing around with glue and no waiting! In the dry Southern California climate patch glue can dry up and leave you stranded when you most need it.

Patch kit is great for small thorn punctures--anything bigger I would change out the tube anyway.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

I love these patches. They are small, lightweight, fast and easy to use, and will handle most small punctures. The only time I've had a problem is using them on pinch flats - they don't always seal permanently on larger tears, probably due to their size.

Good as a backup patch kit

Best Uses

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:

The Park Glueless Patch Kit is very small and light. I carry it as a backup for my regular patch kit in case my glue dries out or evaporates. The glueless patches get me home, but they don't stick as well as the regular patches. If I try to keep using the patched tube, the glueless patch will develop a slow leak by the 2nd or 3rd ride on it.
