FAQs

Do these patches come with glue?

No, this pack contains only the repair patches. You will need to purchase Rema Tip Top vulcanizing solution separately for a complete repair.

What sizes are included in this pack?

The pack includes six F1 size patches and one F2 size patch.

Can I use these patches with any brand of glue?

For best results and a permanent repair, it is recommended to use Rema Tip Top vulcanizing solution specifically designed for these patches.

How do I prepare the inner tube before applying a patch?

Clean the area around the puncture and lightly roughen it with emery paper (sold separately) to create a surface for the solution and patch to bond to.

How long should I wait after applying the solution before putting on the patch?

Allow the vulcanizing solution to dry until it becomes tacky to the touch, which typically takes 2-5 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can these patches be used on tubeless tires?

These patches are designed for repairing inner tubes, not for tubeless tire systems.

How should I store the unused patches?

Store them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Patch does not adhere properly

Ensure the inner tube surface was properly cleaned and roughened with emery paper. Verify that the vulcanizing solution was applied correctly and allowed to dry to a tacky state before applying the patch. Ensure the patch was pressed down firmly.

Slow leak persists after repair

The puncture may have been too large for the patch size used, or the repair area was not adequately prepared. Ensure the correct vulcanizing solution was used and the patch was applied according to instructions. Consider using a larger patch if available or replacing the inner tube.

Patch comes loose after some use

This could be due to insufficient drying time of the vulcanizing solution, contamination of the patch's adhesive surface, or excessive flexing of the tube in that area. Re-apply with proper preparation and ensure firm, even pressure.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the damaged area of the inner tube thoroughly. Use emery paper (sold separately) to lightly roughen the surface around the puncture for better adhesion.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of Rema Tip Top vulcanizing solution (sold separately) to the prepared area, extending slightly beyond the patch size.
  3. Allow the solution to dry until it becomes tacky (usually 2-5 minutes, depending on conditions).
  4. Peel the protective backing from the patch, avoiding touching the rubber surface.
  5. Center the patch over the puncture and press down firmly, working from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles.
  6. Maintain firm pressure for a few minutes. The center of the patch may have a clear plastic layer that can be removed after application or left in place.

Compatibility:

  • These patches are designed for use with Rema Tip Top vulcanizing solutions.
  • Compatible with most standard bicycle inner tubes (butyl rubber).

Care:

  • Store patches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their adhesive properties.
  • Keep the packaging sealed when not in use.
