Many attempts at the same site could have made it hard or impossible to patch it. It may not be possible to remove all the residue.
My technique is:
- scrape the area with emory paper or sand paper
- spread glue liberally throughout an area larger than the patch I will apply
- let the glue dry
- apply no glue to the patch
- peel the foil wrapper off the patch
- apply the patch and press hard
- ensure that the edges have adhered
- don't test it without putting it in the tire.
