Yep. The glueless patches will "getcha home" but that's about it. For long lasting patches I use the old-fashioned style.

I also agree with "doing" vs. "watching" when it come to flat-repair. It's important to know that you can fix your flat with your equipment. That means practice using the pump and/or CO2 device that you carry, along with your tire lever(s) and patch-kit of choice. You want to be sure that it all works well before you actually need it.
