Comments about REI Sleeping Pad Repair Kit:
I have just used the patch kit and my pad now holds air. I am writing mainly to let others know some usable instructions. The included instructions are wrong, never mentioning the patches. Trying to follow the instructions, I initially tried spreading a thin layer of adhesive around the hole and letting it dry, as is done with bike tube patches. This did not work because the adhesive was no longer tacky once it dried. On the second try, I spread a thin layer of adhesive directly on the patch, then quickly put the patch on the hole and squeezed it on tightly and let it dry overnight. This worked.
The tube that comes with the kit is only big enough for a few repairs. From experience, I estimate that it will dry out within a year of puncturing the metal seal on the top. I urge REI to put 3-5 tubes of adhesive in each kit, or sell them separately (note that this is not the rubber cement found in bike tube patch kits).

This worked pretty well. It took a while (2 hours) for the glue to set. Have yet to take it in "the field".
