Merge!

It's not a question about punctures though Will. It's a question about patch glue of which there was no existing thread.

One rule for the fat, another rule for the rest of us.........

they also make the best patches too, chunks.

I know.. I got shitloads of them when Buffalo Wings Bill ordered some.

Anyone know where I can buy small squares of sandpaper? I find the ones I use to sand the tyre before I put on the glue tend to lose their 'sandyness' too quickly.

Your local hardware store should have a collection of various grit level sandpapers. Use some old scissors to cut them into the sizes you require.

Buy big ones, bigger is always better.

sanding the tyre is where you are going wrong.

try emmery cloth.

lyzene, or what ever they are called, come with a small little steel cheese grater type thing.
worth buying just for that alone, patches are shite

Might get one for grating parmesan.

Anyone know where I can buy a small yellow crayon? I find the one I use to mark the hole before I sand the tyre before I apply the glue tends to lose its 'yellow crayoniness' too quickly.

First thread not enough to get your point across, darling?

I have some, PM your address and I'll post.

FOC, just for you.

are you on about diamond sharpening kits like these? I've never tried them but seen them in used for sharpening knifes / chisels.
