    hello,
    BTW.. the transparent plastic container that the puncture repair outfit comes with it makes an excellent FSK tinderbox.. just my 2p worth.

    Be aware "RUBBER SOLUTION "in tyre repair kits is for the "new"thin vulcanising patchs and aint like the PROPER RUBBER SOLUTION of old.I'd go for a good contact adiesive.

    hello,
    Whoo hoo.. Midas is back (calm down David) a tube of EvoStik serious glue should do the trick. If you've already purchased a puncture repair outfit stick with it (pardon the pun) the contents can still be used in Bushcraft/Survival EDC kit rubber patches are good for fire starting & the tin a FSK container in itself.
    Regards
