But at one flat every two years, patches and replacing dried out glue seem to be more expense than a tube.
That's pretty much what I did (before I went tubeless). I would swap for a fresh (or previously patched) tube and only carried adhesive patches in case I had a super unlucky ride with more than 2 flats. I would stockpile the punctured tubes until I had 6+ and then just patch them all at once, then rotate them into.

But I only came in here to see if the chemist has sung his praises for Rema patch kits yet.
