    Traditional patch kits with rubber solution make a permanent repair and are much more reliable (if less convenient) than peel and stick patches.
    Look for patches with a feathered edge like Rema.

    Try the self-adhesive Park patches. I started using them only recently and can thoroughly recommend them. I will not be using glue-on patches again.

    The Park patches are so easy and quick to use. I wish they'd been available in my youth.

    I have tried the stick on patches, ok as a get you home measure..I guess.

    I normally buy puncture repair patches and glue separately from Decathlon, it makes sense as you always seem to run out of either glue or patches in a kit....the patches are feathered at the edges and I appear to be permanent in use up to now.

    I thought the park glue less patches were the dogs but then found they didn't last very long so had to rip them off & replace them with a rubber patch which is a messy business. So now only use them for emergency on the road patching. Rema patches are good.

    rema tiptop tt04 (this is the road one with thinner patches)

    get this too, as usually the patches get used up before the rest of the kit runs out...
