What’s the point of having like 30 patches in these boxes when the tiny 5 gram tube of vulcanising glue they come with will last you like three repairs tops or dry out in a month or two

I wish I could just buy the glue tubes in bulk, I already have more patches than I’ll ever need

      I’ve looked at a bunch of these listings and the reviews for most of these glues on AliExpress are all over the place with almost no one bothering to come back to report if the glue actually works and an alarming number saying the tubes arrived already dried or exploded all over the packaging. I suppose I might bite the bullet though

        I’m not saying it doesn’t happen , but ya gotta remember that the folks who are happy/content with the product typically don’t bother making reviews. It’s the folks who feel the most emotional about it, typically negative.

        I didn’t do it for that link, but I’ve had the best luck with searching for what I want, sorting by most popular/most orders (they change it up), and then ordering from one of the sellers who have sold the most and their reviews aren’t overwhelmingly horrible. Doesn’t always work, but more often than not I’m usually happy.
