The Super Patch Kit is comprised of a small plastic case, a piece of sandpaper for roughing up the tube and 6 peel-and-stick patches so no gluing is required. The patches stick fast thanks to 3M technology and they're thin and flexy to stretch with the tube. There's no easier way to patch a tube.
I've made 5 roadside flat repairs and 4 flat repairs for family members and all 9 flats have continued to hold air normally with the first of those flat repairs now a year and a half old. These cementless patches allow quick and easy roadside flat repairs and I'm on my way in no time. I'd never go back to messy rubber cement type patches which never held anywhere near as reliably as these cementless patches.

Got a few of these when they were on sale and gave a couple to friends to try out, as well as putting a couple in my own seat bag. One day I happened to hit a piece of metal that jammed into my chainstay and pinched my tube against the wheel. Poked two holes into the tube.
Pulled over, took off the wheel and tire, roughed up the area and wiped it with my clean shirt (don't want to get skin oils on the rubber), then applied the patch. It stuck right on, and after rubbing and making sure it was stuck good, I reinflated and was good to ride the few more miles home. Really came through. Only problem is they're easy to lose cause they're so small! The whole box is only about 1" square. Patches are slightly smaller than that.
