My experience has shown that all of [MENTION=21724]cyccommute[/MENTION]'s advice in this thread is dead on. Do everything he says. Rema glue is expensiver than the others but worth it. I experimented with other glues and came back. I keep a can with a lid with a built-in lid. I also keep the little tubes in my seat-bag toolkit. Once I open it, it starts drying out, so I check the tube periodically. Since I generally patch tubes in batches, opening a little tube might allow me to fix only one inner tube before it dries out. Hmm, maybe next time, I should use up the glue in the already-open little tubes before I open my can.
