We just grabbed new tubes. When we started running low on new tubes, we tried to patch them in a variety of ways - all I can remember now is gaffe and electrical tape, but I think there were a few more - but nothing worked very well and the tubes just deflated as soon as they were squeezed against something or put through a roller claw. The best method that we found was to put a small piece of tape over the hole, then put a larger strip on top of it. It didn't work very well, but it could work in a pinch, and will need continuous repair.
