I dunno about that. Something like this 2" x 6" patch?

It requires cold vulcanizing fluid 7A or G50T.

At 10 patches for $25 plus chemicals, talc, shipping, and taxes,
methinks using $5 Canadian polymer banknotes might be cheaper.
Notice that the instructions at:
http://www.gemplers.com/tech/tube-repair.htm
are for an automobile tire inner tube. For bicycle tubes, methinks it
might be best to apply the rather large patch on a rounded mandrel
with a diameter slightly smaller than the bicycle tire, instead of the
traditional flat surface. That should prevent any wrinkling,
stretching, or excess tension on the patch when installed and
inflated.
