The VP-1 Patch Kit includes six thin and flexible patches with tapered edges to blend with the tube’s profile. Four round patches are 25 mm in diameter for smaller holes. Two oval patches, 25 mm x 35 mm, are for wider cuts. A tube of self-vulcanizing fluid bonds the patch to the tube at the molecular level. Each kit is packaged in a small plastic box with sandpaper for cleaning the tube and instructions. Available individually carded or in a handy 36 kit countertop display.
