Clarification: Vulcanizing fluid will only work if the patch and fluid have the proper chemical make-up. If you have a bunch of patches from Rema, you can use Rema vulcanizing fluid to make a good permanent patch. But if you have a different brand of patch, the Rema is only expensive rubber glue. I’ve looked at all kinds of different patch cements and I’ve found that the only one that really does cold vulcanization is the Rema. All the others are just contact cement patches.
