STRIPPING REPAIR PATCHES
In various well-known repair outfits a type of self-vulcanising patch or material is supplied, the prepared face being protected by a white covering slip. The easiest way to remove this (and the most advisable method) is not to endeavour to prise up one comer with a finger nail, but to give a pull on the rubber, wdiich will have the effect of tearing the protective strip down the middle. Double back the rubber, and the protective slip on one half can be removed quite freely. Then apply the patch to the tube which is to he repaired, slipping off the second portion of the covering as the patch is finally pressed home.
