[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 360928, member: 3828"] Hmmm. Well, I must admit that I've never tried not using the cement provided with the sticky string in the kit. I guess since the instructions tell you to use it I just always have. Good to know that you can use them dry in a pinch, though. It seems like it helps to bond the sticky part of the patch with the rubber of the tire after the cement dries making the patch seal better. It definitely lubricates the needle, making it easy to remove after the plug is in the proper position. The only way that I can see it being dried up is if the tube of cement had been previously used. With as cheap as these kits are, and as infrequently as they are required, I just always keep a fresh kit on-board and use the cement as directed. [/QUOTE]
