I happened to be in a K-Mart store yesterday, and decided I'd see
what sort of bike stuff they had. The thing I noticed was a patch kit
that features patches that don't require cement/glue.
Anyone here have any experience with these patches? Maybe I just
have a suspicious nature, but they sound just a tad too good to be true.

"Glueless" patches have been around for years. I've never used them
myself, but many people swear by them. I'm sure that they can be a
significant time saver when it comes to making roadside repairs.

However, I prefer to defer to the master when it comes to such matters. See:
