Hi, after patching my tire I was just about to remount it and inflated it slightly. The patch seems to bulge weirdly. I did patch it when it was inflated as well, so maybe that's why? Or did it not bind properly? Any ideas?

The patch on the tube will be pressed against the inner side of the tire, no problem IMHO.
NO, its not secure and is highly likely to fail. Use a bigger patch or new tube
Maybe? I’d try it and be prepared for the possibility of failure but it looks like it’s worth trying.
That fine
You made a sound repair 👌
Yes, it is a structural weak point after all 🙂 As long as it has the rim and tyre around it will not be a problem. Also it is not recommended to inflate the tube like this, since it deforms the material.
That bulge indicates the patch is not correctly vulcanized to the innertube.
