Riders who patch their own tubes, at home or on the road.
Rubber solution is the glue used with traditional cold patches to repair punctured inner tubes. This 20cc tube from Thumbs Up is small enough to slip into a saddle bag or spares kit.

Roughen the area around the hole, spread a thin layer of glue a little bigger than the patch, then wait until it turns from glossy to dull before pressing the patch on firmly. Rushing this step is the main reason patches lift.
