How about repair outfits?
If at first you don't succeed...
You did clean up after the slime?
Kit of choice
They do bike sized kits, for the same price.

There was surprisingly little mess to be honest. I did think it would leak out all over the place, but there was very little.

I even tried bringing tubes home, preparing then trying to patch them, nope, nope useless ( I may be as well
)Get back in yer coffin, ya pedantic old git
I'd try and glue the lid but it'll probably not stick down..
The best was, I'd got a slow puncture and noticed it when heading out to work so I texted my oldest to fix it (fitting a new tube), they did literally before I came home, and as I walked in the door, BANG!!!! the tube just failed...
I did my own from then....

I'm with you..
I tried various REPAIR outfits,
cheap and a bit more expensive and they gave me the same result, deflation (no jokes, folks)...
The really cheap supplier online is no more, must source elsewhere

I did that the other week. Had a flat, got home, did a repair, used slime and the first time out it went again. Luckily with the Co2 canisters i managed to get home. New inner tube went in. It is the only way to go.

I found it needed very little to stop the patch sticking, when the slime had been on the tube.

Or, keep on good terms with the fairy and not have to replace them.

I never had any problem with the cheap ones, I moved to Marathon Greenguard tyres as it doesn't bother me that they are heavy, and allegedly not smooth rolling. I ride a mid weight hybrid not a roadie so I can go off road etc, but back to the tubes, mass produced somewhere out East I'd assume. Last two p********s were a drawing pin and today, a tack/nail. Any from the past were mostly thorns off cut hedgerows, oh, and I'm not exactly a lightweight...

Don't rush at work either.
Rushing can lead to mistakes, and the powers that be don't take kindly to that

Looks like you might have a regular job there then @welsh dragon
After my slow start I went for a 75 mile bimble. P######e fairy struck after 11 miles but hey ho and co2 is a great aid.
I passed through the home territory of one of our missing members. No sign of @BrianEvesham and I stopped at the Fast Tracks cafe
