Getting back to puncture repair kits, I remember once settling down to fix a puncture (at home). I thought I knew the routine, but found that the glue in my kit had completely dried up. No idea how long it was since I bought the kit. (I completed the job with Evostik - it worked okay.)

Now I try to remember to buy a new kit once a year, so the glue will be liquid when I need it. I don't know what the lifespan is of peel-and-stick patches, but I expect it's not infinite.
