If the above does not work, you can take the remains of another inner tube that's busted and use it to patch
up this one using rubber cement over the puncter area and using the rubber you cut from the old inner
tube. After the cement has dried, inflate for testing. If the patch is coming loose and the ends, add more
rubber cement while its inflated and apply pressure to hold it in place. If THAT doesn't work, super glue
that thang!

read the comments, or tried gum and leaves

That doesn’t look like it works. Does it hold pressure? Why not just use a patch kit?

I cant imagine this holding the 4Bar of pressure i put in my wheels...

Another thing: The inner tube is flexible for a reason. It swells inside the tire as it is inflating. That clear tape
is not flexible at all, so one of two things will happen. The tape will tear apart exposing the the puncture, or
the tire will not swell in that area, which will cause an uneven ride.

You can also fix a bike inner tube with gum and leaves.

good trick. But I think it would hold to long. Isn't?
