    I’ve tried them with wet, tacky and dry glue and they just don’t stick more than half-heartedly and then come off one there’s sealant in. Any tips/ideas/experience?

    Are these the ones you’re meant to use the blue glue with?

    If so, no such problem.

    The tube just says “superglue” on it
    The patches look the same as for tubes to be honest
    I’ve been playing around this evening and they seem to be holding maybe, will run with tubes for a ride and pray!!
    Gotta go celebrate now though

    Parksie – clean the area to be patched with a spray of brake cleaner, give it a wipe then stick on the pay has normal. Worked for me

    Superglue does not flex so will never work.

    OK, I tried the two-layers-of-superglue and ride-the-first-time-with-a-tube method, and the tyre has now stayed up tubeless for a couple of rides.
    Whether the patches are still on, or the superglue or sealant are doing the job, I don’t know without my X-ray glasses.
    Thanks all for your input!
