Nice deal, thumbs up.

One tip about the scuffer- don't use it. It creates a bunch of little cuts on the surface of the tube that can slowly let out air. Do these tiny cuts help adhere the patch? uhhh no. You want to clean the surface of the tube, not do a chopomatic on it.

I dealt with several slow leaks until it became apparent that the scuffer serves no purpose. It actually hurts the process. It would be better to use nothing and go for the adhesive directly.

So I instead toss the scuffer and carry a small piece of 2000 grit sandpaper to clean the tube.

Thank you for the comment! Was hoping someone with experience would comment with some input. I found the patch kit while researching fixes for my flat tires on my lawn equipment. I'm debating patching, tire tubes, or just getting new flat-free tires. But I bought the patch kit just to keep on-hand. Great info about the scuffer. Will use sand paper instead.

Make sure fine grit sandpaper, like in the thousands Cool or it'll have the same bunch of little cuts problem Cool

Though lawn equipment tires don't run at super high pressures, so it may not even matter that much in your application.
