OK, bit boring, but I had to share my joy!
How long have these been around then? - Pre-Glued Super Patch
The last stick on patches I tried were something that was given away with MBUK about, oh, 1994(?), stupid foam type things that were rubbish. So there I am in my LBS wanting some patches and glue to sort out a load of punctured tubes I had in a box, 'try these', he said, I laughed 'yeah right' ... well I did and they work!!
So, now you're gonna tell me they don't last, come un-glued or eventually leak, yeah?
Or tell me I should go tubeless anyway!?

Hot sun ... !
Where in world are you then? I think we had one day of hot sun here in the UK last year?

When I was in the US in the summer in a sports shop I saw some Slime pre-glued patches for about a quid or something, thought I'd give them a try, and seem great so far.
I could never get the hang of patching tho tbh - I think I'm too impatient with the glue drying - once spent about an hour trying to patch and innertube and eventually gave up and walked it home. Now I carry a spare inner 🙄
