VP-1 Vulcanizing Patch Kit

Park Tool VP-1 Vulcanizing Patch Kit

Everything you need to make reliable, long-lasting tube repairs. Perfect for in-shop or on-the-go fixes.

Kit Includes:

• 4 × Round patches (25 mm)

• 1 × Oval patch (25 mm)

• 1 × Oval patch (35 mm)

• Vulcanizing fluid for secure bonding

• Sandpaper for surface preparation

Use the included sandpaper to roughen the tube around the puncture, apply vulcanizing fluid, wait until tacky, then press the patch firmly in place. Allow the bond to cure before re-inflating.

Ideal for:
• Road, mountain, and hybrid bike tubes
• Quick shop repairs or emergency roadside fixes
• Ensuring a lasting seal that won’t peel or lift

How to Use:

1. Locate and mark the puncture.

2. Use the sandpaper to scuff the tube surface around the hole.

3. Apply a thin layer of vulcanizing fluid and let it become tacky (about 1–2 minutes).

4. Peel backing off the chosen patch and firmly press it over the puncture.

5. Hold pressure for 30 seconds, then leave to cure for 5–10 minutes before inflation.

Keep this kit in your workshop or saddlebag to be prepared for any flat-tire emergency.
