spare tube and a proper patch kit at home. You cannot do a proper patch at the roadside. You can do a temporary one but the job wont be as good.0

What's a proper patch? i've only known the little kits which I can do just as well on the side of the road as at home and they all seem the same too me?0

the traditional glue patch. You cannot do them properly by the side of the road as they need to re-vulcanise. You can use the glueless patches as a quick fix to get you home but to do a proper repair you need to take your time and you ideally want everything nice and warm.0

as they need to re-vulcanise
its just 2 pieces of plastic glued together.
I used to vulcanise when I was a kid - vise and matches. Don't use those any more. Doubt if they exist.0 -
eeeerm no, the tip top ones have vulcanising fluid. see here
hence you need to let the "glue" dry completely before adding the patch, and the two surfaces need to be buffed completely clean and not be touched before putting them together, and why the glue dissolves the patch feather around the edges.0 -

And why the glue is actually called "rubber solution" on the patch kit I got.0 -

I did post the data sheet for the vulcanizing solution you'll find in the tip top packs...0

Vulcanising solution.
Small strip of wet'n'dry for getting rid of flashing and cleaning the surface.
Amusing tobacco tin to keep it all in!- - - - - - - - - -
