How can I buy a bunch of the smallest size patches? Most patch kits come with a
bunch of big ones, but only two or four small ones. The larger ones don't fit
on road tubes without wrapping around them, so it's hard to get a good bond all
the way around, to keep the edges from peeling. I haven't had one fail in
awhile, but smaller patches would be better. Can someone get these in bulk, and
sell me a bunch? I'm sick of paying $4.00 for a patch kit with 2 good patches
in it, and a bunch of crap I'll never use.

Also, is it better to remove the plastic, leave it on, or leave it on as the
patch cures but take it off before using the tube? I do let my patches cure
overnight whenever possible.


We stock boxes of 100. LBS can get them quickly - nearly
every distributor who sells patch kits also sells boxes of
patches.

The clear vinyl cover shows where a patch stitcher/patch
roller has been applied. Since you don't use one of those ,
peel it up if it comes easily, leave it if not. Doesn't matter.
