[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1455286, member: 11508"] It's been said (by Ross Kean) already, but I'll second it anyway. When you head out, have a NEW tube of whatever glue you use. Despite the instructions I've seen on various string products, smear the string with glue too. I use E6000 and it has done the job just fine, but when you get home, throw the old tube away and get another. A small tube, since you'll use it just once. Glue dries up! I've got no input on the question of the patch being temporary and needing to replace the tire. I never bothered. Luckily, I never had a flat on a brand new tire or I might have done more than I did. BTW, my Slime pump has worked very well on flats on my own and other's bikes on a few occasions. [/QUOTE]
