Welcome back to the channel folks!
I'm going to keep this description to the point since realistically speaking, we don't all read this, lol.
I know that YT has a lot of these patch vids, but I still decided to get one that's more detailed since I thought it would be a good idea, lol.
It's a simple process, just takes a couple minutes to get it all done the first time. Afterwards, you can easily smash through a bunch of your inner tubes within minutes. After a while, it actually gets fun!
I am using basic 100gram Butyl Inner Tubes (Duro brand) for anyone who is curious.

0:54 - Stuff you need
2:52 - Quick thing to check (tire)
3:38 - Submerging tube in water (inspecting for puncture location)
5:16 - Marking puncture with sharpie
5:35 - Sanding the area down
6:31 - Laying down the cement
7:34 - Applying the patch
8:33 - Applying the patch #2 (if you want to skip a bit)
9:20 - Removing plastic off patch (or keeping it, up to you)
9:54 - Checking your work
10:43 - End result! Congrats you did it!
Steps:
1. Gather your materials.
Inner tubes
Tub (for water, this is optional, but I highly suggest it)
Patches & Cement (I prefer Rema's, they hold really well)
Sandpaper
Sharpie
2. Inspect your tire!!!!!
I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS.
I've had moments where I've patched a tube, put it back into my tire and ended up with another flat, and turns out it was glass embedded in the rubber. So stop, check your tire (outside and inside thouroughly!).
3. Let's get it!
Inflate your inner tube (just barely enough so that it's round). Then submerge it in the tub (or sink), and look for bubbles. This part requires a tiny bit of patience. Just slowly move the tube in the water. (I wasn't extremely thorough in mine since I already knew where the puncture was and I had already marked it and for keeping this video semi short).
4. Once you've located where the bubbles are coming out from, dry off and deflate your tire and mark the area with your sharpie (mark it multiple times).
5. Lay down the flattened inner tube on the ground or table, and with a little pressure, sand that area down. This is done so the cement bonds the patch to that surface really well.
6. Remove any bits of dust from the area, and apply your cement to that section (a bit extra is better than less in this sort of thing). You don't need a huge layer of cement, just enough to cover the section. Then put it to the side so it can dry up (2-4mins, or until its dry/tacky).
7. Apply your patch to the affected area and press it down with a finger. Then with your sharpie, roll it over with a good amount of pressure all around the circumference of the patch (all the round orange section as well as inner circle).
8. If you'd like to remove the plastic film at this point you can (or keep it, won't hurt anything really). If you decide to remove it, gently do so. If you see the patch is coming up, you'll need to stop, put it down and reapply pressure to ensure it stays in place, then try again. (in some cases, if the patch wasn't applied correctly, then you'll need to do steps 5-7 again).
9. Check to make sure the patch has sealed successfully by re-submerging it in the tub of water from earlier. Better safe than sorry!
10. If all has gone well, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO! CONGRATS!
And that's it for this one! Hope you guys enjoyed my rendition of this old "how-to", lol. Remember to COMMENT/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE!
