Is the glue used in bicycle tube repair kits just regular rubber cement?


Is the glue used in bicycle tube repair kits just regular rubber cement?

No. It is called "vulcanizing cement". Rubber cement is not strong enough to keep a patch on a tube. Source(s): 27 years in the industry
No, its special rubber cement.
Patch glue has different composition of materials to hold patch . Also is more elastic when dry . Forget the rubber or contact cement to patch innertube . It may work in emergency , but not for long .
