Got a couple of thick tubes that are damaged because of the #%&@!!
Gatorksin side wall blow-outs back when I used those tires.
Expensive at
around $17/pop, don't want to throw away. Fixing small tears of
1/10" or
so with REMA patches works but only for 3-6 month, then they hiss
through
and I get a slow leak. I can ride home but it's annoying.

Somehow that never worked for me - I've heard of people soaking a
patch of
denim in rubber solution, but I've never tried that (yet).



Canada started making their money out of plastic. Works the charm for a
temporary patch in a slit tire.

so does a US dollar bill


True.
