Ten grams, $4.29, and no glue to wait for
Slime 6 pre-glued 1" patches + scuffer
Six pre-glued one-inch patches with a metal scuffer in a compact case, for a one-step roadside repair.
What you are getting
Six pre-glued 1-inch patches and a round metal scuffer in a compact case. 10 g. $4.29 — the cheapest thing on this page by a wide margin.
It is the self-adhesive half of this shelf’s rule, done minimally
The tag on this page: self-adhesive patches are quick; vulcanizing patches are permanent. This is quick.
“SKABS are a simple, one step solution to a punctured tire and no glue or cement required, means no mess.”
No rubber solution, no cure time, no waiting at the roadside with cold hands. Scuff, peel, stick. That is the entire procedure and the entire argument.
Its instructions describe the one trick that makes it work
“Just scuff up the area around the puncture, stick on the patch, then create a tube/tire sandwich to keep a good pressure on the skab to hold it in place.”
That is the step most people miss. A self-adhesive patch bonds under pressure, and the pressure comes from reinflating inside the tire rather than from a thumb. Fit the tube, seat the tire, inflate — and the patch is pressed against the casing for as long as it stays there.
It is also why a SKAB works better in a tire than it does as a bench repair.
Ten grams, and a case
Ten grams for six patches and a scuffer. The XIAOCUNCN vulcanizing kit on this page is 110 g (3.9 oz) for twenty-four patches, fluid, a rasp and two levers.
The shelf intro asks whether the case fits a saddle bag. At 10 g (0.4 oz) it fits a jersey pocket, which is a different and better answer.
Six one-inch patches, which is a stated size
A dimension — 1 inch — where the XIAOCUNCN kit gives only “small” and “big”. An inch is 25 mm (0.98 in), which covers a thorn hole with good margin and does not cover a pinch flat; a pinch flat is a slit and needs a long patch.
So this is a kit for punctures, not for pinch flats. That is a real limit and a reasonable one at $4.29.
The scuffer is included, which is not a given
A round metal scuffer. Both the vulcanizing kits in this survey include a rasp, and so does this one — the step is not optional for either method. A self-adhesive patch on a shiny tube lifts within a week; on a scuffed one it does not.
What is not published
No patch thickness, no shelf life — pre-glued patches do dry out in storage, which is the one thing this method loses to vulcanizing — and no statement about whether a SKAB is a permanent repair. Slime calls it “a simple, one step solution” and leaves it there.
Nothing on this shelf is cheaper, and nothing is quicker.
