    The best and i think only way you can do it is with sandpaper because you have'to take all of the slipperyness from the inside of the tyre so that the glue and patch can get a grip.Weldtite make a ust repair kit which consists of a plug type like a car tyre gets fixed i 've used it successfully.Here's a link to it -

    Its just about the same as the Panaracer kit, but you get a rubber strip that you cut to size instead of individual plugs with the Panaracer one, and thus you get approx 25 repairs out of it for £7..bragian
