The glue it thing does remind me of a crazy story though.

I had a tire valve stem split wide open like a banana.

When I described what happened to wife she said "well don't you have some tape or something"?

(After the laughter subsides): hmm I do have some of that sticks only to itself tape I grabbed just as I was leaving the house thinking it might get me back to the hotel if a cooling hose springs a leak.

Ten minutes later: it was repaired with tape and we were on our way.

Day was saved by naivety.
