Wasted $200 on a cheap ATV tire repair kit that fell apart after one use

Bought a no-name patch kit from Amazon for my quad last fall and the rubber cement dried out before I even opened it properly. Anyone else had luck with a specific brand that actually holds up on rocky trails?

Hold on, the rubber cement dried out before you even opened it? That's wild. I bought a cheap STI patch kit from Walmart and the glue was already half-hardened like old toothpaste. You gotta wonder if these no-name brands are just packing up expired returns from Amazon returns. Stick with the Slime brand kits or just buy a tube of vulcanizing cement separate from the patches. Learned that the hard way after patching a tube on the trail with a kit that crumbled like saltines.

Is it just me or does it feel like everything is getting cheaper and shittier at the same time? I swear I opened a pack of Band-Aids last week and the glue on the edges was practically dust.
