I find that if you use a thin smear of glue then light it and wait till the flames die out you can slap the patch on and it will stick like the proverbial, even in the rain.
I keep a cheap disposable lighter in my tool pack.
I have never had a patch fail using this method and I always repair tubes.
Then again I am about as tight as you can get.
