I have a Pastali kit here. I think I must have bought at least a couple of them from Nashbar 20 years ago. It also has 2 tubes of glue. One I never opened, but it has to be rubber patch cement because it's flammable. The other is (was) tubular cement, because I've used it up. It also contains a small roll of base tape, not enough for a whole tire. Don't know how I was supposed to glue the base tape, but it has an orange coating on one side. The kit also contains a needle, thread and thimble, plus a patch and talc I never used. I guess I can sew on some buttons.
