Puncture repair glue

[Sunny Portrush]

What is the actual glue used that you get in puncture repair kits? I often find I have used up all the glue before I`m even halfway through the patches! Just wondering if you could get it in industrial strength sizes!

Buy self-adhesive patches. Much better, as long as you give the tube a really good scraping.

You can get large tubes of glue from (yes I know it's treason) Halfords

In litre sizes, I`ll be able to glue the whole bike!

Which patches are the best and do they work on high pressure (100psi) road tyres?

I have had no problems with any of them. I have used Decathlon, Wilko's as well as the ones that came with a Lidl toolkit. I am 97kg and power my Duranos up to 8BAR and they stay on.

I've got a feeling you're using too much glue...shouldn't need a lot per patch...one tiny tube lasts me a good 10-15 patches.

I've used Park patches but wasn't impressed so I'll, er, stick with the glue. Decathlon sell glue refills and, if all else fails, Poundland will probably have repair kits for guess how much - my local does - and the glue works just like puncture repair glue. I wouldn't use their patches but the glue works fine. Stick the top back on immediately after use with as little air getting in in the process as you can and it will last better.

I NEVER repair , always have / buy new tubes .The cost of a tube far outweighs repair for me

No worries. I was too...sometimes using two or three patches per puncture - right old nightmare. Give it a go his way...should work a treat
