Glueless patches?
Re: Glueless patches?
Almost certainly the Wilkos and Halfords ones are the same (red ovals), as made by Weldtite. I bought a pack a while back.

I know you won't believe me, but here goes, anyway. If you open the BOTTOM of the tiny tube of rubber solution by unwrapping the rolled up metal foil and squeeze a bit of solution out from there, you can re-seal it by re-wrapping the metal foil, and it DOESN'T DRY out.
Just try it!

I've not tried that yet but I will when the opportunity arises. Even Edward de Bono would be impressed by that idea.
Re: Glue
I do believe you, 531colin
It can be useful to open the bottom of tubes. I find, when the nozzle end has blocked up on Super Glue, as it inevitably does, then you can rip the crimped end to get some out this way, but you must be very careful that it doesn't spurt out.
Or get that last bit of toothpaste out. - For plastic tubes cut across with scissors.
