Has anybody had success repairing inner tubes?

[SexyGreyFox]

If so which kit do you use and what good instructional video can I follow?

Reasons for thread, over the last 6 years I've probably had around 8 punctures on all my bikes but never had success with repairing them on the road or when back home.

Thanks

What exactly is the problem you have with getting a seal?

I never get one

I have an inner tube waiting for me to experiment on since I've just put a new one in.

This is my kit but looking at it I've only tried to use the black square ones, perhaps I should try the yellow ones!

Don't apply the patch to the vulcanising solution straight away, give it a few moments to get tacky.

I don't have vulcanising solution in my picture, just sticky patches.
Is that where I'm going wrong?

Am I the only one who just replaces the tube?

Obviously I do.

I always carry a spare tube in my bag and I've got at least 6 spares for two different sizes.

I've had at the most, 8 punctures in 6 years over 5 different bikes and I cycle every day.

I will be getting a new repair kit to experiment with.
Thanks for the good advice once again.

If you're buying the Halfords one at RRP then the Park Tools one is around the same price from wiggle and has better glue (but I think less patches?).

I've just bought the Park Tool VP1 Puncture Repair Kit one along with 10x inner tubes (5 for each bike) and some Black Mamba Nitrile Workshop Gloves - 8
.

Park Tool Puncture repair Kit came today and I've successfully repaired two inner tubes - woohoo.

I’m just attempting to fix a snakebite from hitting a ridiculous pothole. Not sure it’s going to work...

Good luck, a tiny hole is bad enough.
Mine are still blown up but I haven't applied any pressure.
