- 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.
