If you use a bicycle on a regular basis, sooner or later you will get a slow puncture. These are a little trickier to remedy than the normal kind because finding the hole is not so obvious. Instead you will need to completely remove the inner tube and dunk it a container of water. The bubbles give away the location of the puncture.
I have a flat mate who never patched up punctures but always replaced the whole inner tube. His reason was that in the past the patches leaked or he punctured the inner tube again when levering the tire back on.
Rather than learning through trial and error, follow this list of my best tips for a perfect puncture patch up every time.
