Puncture repair kits that don't contain a tube of glue

Anyone reccomend a similar kit to the above? Do the 'sticky sealant strips' go off after a period of time?



I've just had to use one of my puncture repair kits that contain glue, the seal on the tube had never even been broken so I were a bit surprised to find that 99% of the glue had disappeared. 

Thankfully I had a second similar repair kit, the tube of glue were OK in that one,....both kits I have carried on different bikes for probably 10 years plus.



I'm just wondering if tubes of glue are the weak link here, are the strips that are coated with glue a better long term carry option?

I’ve used a kit like this on my cars many times with great success. They are for tubeless tyres only. The kits are a few years old now and I used one a couple of weeks ago with no issues. I carry a kit on my touring bike but have not needed to use it. It has tyre pressure monitoring so I would definitely use it with confidence however would probably get tyre repaired or replaced at a convenient time.

It's for my touring bike with tubeless tyres too, good job I had two kits with me at the time. I think I'll have to try one of these glue less types now.
