I'm curious if I could just use a tube of this stuff from my local DollarTree, instead of rubber cement or whatever it is that comes with tube patch kits. My glue always dries out before I use all my patches…
There is no adhesive in typical patch kits for butyl-tubes. The patches are vulcanised on the tube. That’s why you have to let it dry first before you stick the patch on. It just works completely different.
I’m not saying adhesive won’t work at all but it’s just completely different.
