Yes, everyone!, myself included.

However, recently I have run into many failures in patching inner tubes, whether of tubulars or clinchers, that good old way. I have a suspicion here, folks: some present day tubes are made of rubber which is a lot more difficult to be vulcanized. Is it really so, also for you?
