I think some of you may have miss-read my post.
It was a bit tongue in cheek, but with a serious point to make that rubber solution quickly dries up.
To clarify, I was on the turbo in the garage and my rear tyre went flat and when I came to repair it I found that the solution I had been carrying was useless and I just fitted another tube.
I always carry one or two spare tubes along with the repair kit, but will always repair by the roadside if I can spot the hole when checking for the cause. In days of old, when I used "tubs", I used to carry two spares + needle & thread and a razor blade and on a couple of occasions actually repaired a tub by the roadside.
Wish I was a beginner and re-wind the clock back 60 years or so.
