Follow this procedure exactly:
1. Deflate and make sure the
outside of the tube is dry.
2. Using sandpaper, or the metal
scraper that comes with some patch
kits, buff the tube around the
area of the hole to remove the
outer surface of the rubber
revealing fresh rubber underneath.
Make sure to buff at least as
large an area as the whole patch
will cover. If you use a metal
scraper, be careful not to cut
deep enough to create new holes.
3. Put glue over the buffed area.

4. Let the glue dry fully. Really!

(This kind of glue, also called
contact cement, must dry comp-
letely before applying the patch.
Many people are confused about
this and do strange things includ-
ing setting the glue on fire!)
5. Peel the foil or the plastic
backing off the patch and press it
firmly on the glued area. Do not
touch the side of the patch which
sticks to the glue because even
the microscopic amount of material
on your fingers deactivates its
stickiness.
