You wimpy "glue sniffers"! My dad taught me the real manly way to patch a tube, where you clamp the patch to the tube with a special little c-clamp and light the solid fuel in the steel cup attached to the patch, and the burning fuel vulcanizes the patch to the tube. Do they still make those? They smell so bad I wouldn't be too surprised if they were illegal now.
