You raise an interesting point. With the rubber cement, it's immediately obvious when it's gotten so old that it's dried up. With the self-stick patches, you don't know until you go to use one. Or you wind up discarding them just because a certain amount of time has passed and they could be stale.

Yeah... I guess if my second spare tube has failed, either my riding buddies have already left or they'll be willing to wait an extra 90 seconds or so for the glue to dry, even though it does seem like fer-frickin'-EVER even when you're doing it at home with no time pressure.
