I get Camel brand patches at the local NAPA store. The new glue will not burn so instead of old style hot patching I use an electric heat gun. I first clean the tube with a chemical buffing fluid. I then heat the tube up until it is hot to the touch. I then apply the glue. I then use the heat gun on that until it is dry/tacky. I then apply the patch. Roll it out just like always. I then heat the patch up a little.

Before I started doing this some of the patches would just roll or slide back off after you put them on. Now with using the heat gun I even have patched the new rubber boots and the patches hold.
