Follow this procedure exactly:

1.  Deflate  and   make  sure  the
outside of the tube is dry.

2.  Using sandpaper,  or the metal
scraper that comes with some patch
kits,  buff  the  tube  around the
area  of  the  hole  to remove the
outer   surface   of   the  rubber
revealing fresh rubber underneath.
Make  sure  to  buff  at  least as
large an  area as the  whole patch
will  cover.  If  you  use a metal
scraper,  be  careful  not  to cut
deep enough to create new holes.

3. Put glue over the buffed area.

4. Let the glue dry fully. Really!

(This  kind of  glue, also  called
contact   cement,  must  dry comp-
letely before  applying the patch.
Many  people  are  confused  about
this and do strange things includ-
ing setting the glue on fire!)

5.  Peel the  foil or  the plastic
backing off the patch and press it
firmly on  the glued area.  Do not
touch the side  of the patch which
sticks  to the  glue because  even
the microscopic amount of material
on  your  fingers  deactivates its
stickiness.
