Tyre weld

[dcocks]

Before my Land cruiser came here it drove across Namibia for 6 weekswith a plug in the sidewall, in fact it was still in it when I got it and it still held air ok

I used them on the stock car as well as road. the tires only lasted about 5 meetings and the treads were totally rubbed off tailing the back end out . they were red hot after racing and wernt a problem

these days I use a patch on the inside of the tyre for a puncture. the last one I did by pluging the puncture from the outside for the tyre, was to silicone a nylon screw into the tryre and then cut the head off. it worked perfectly until I changed the tyres 4 years later

I use plugnpatch when the tyre is off the rim, use liquid buffer to clean carcase , gag patch/carcase in glue, push through the hole, pull metal pin through hole tight with pliers while glue sets and trim off. Does both jobs in one and stops water ingress into the steel belts.

I bought the can above over 30 years ago, I remember carrying it on a moped that used inner tubes, the instructions on the can do say that it's suitable for both tubed and tubeless tyres, I then got a bike that ran on tubeless tyres so I invested in the other style of repair kit.
Anyway, over the years this can has been in the boot of a few cars, stored in cold/hot lofts and garages, moved house etc.

I now have another bike that uses tubes, I felt the rear tyre going flat whilst returning to my garage the other month, I thought lets try this stuff out,....I really didn't expect it to work especially after all these years but it did! I ordered a new inner tube for the bike, fitted it a week later, that Holts stuff were still doing it's job by the way.

a mate of mine put some of that spray sealer in his tyres, ok up to about 80 mph but after that up to 150 it shuddered like hell unbalanced he took them off removed the crap out and it was fine

That’s the style of can I had in the mid ‘80’s,jubilee clipped to the frame tube of my 750.
One summer w/e off on a trip to Cornwall,felt something around my calf,the can was going off,p****g foam everywhere,the engine heat,compounded by having a full race fairing must’ve triggered it .

Here is the original, Dunlop official tubeless tyre repair kit, I bought this when I was around 20 years old and I'm now 74years old, You do the maths!!Does this make me a genuine hoarder.

This type of sealant works great in tubed or tubeless tyres.

I don't know how many litres of this I filled into tubed lawn tractor tyres but it's the only way to stop you getting constant punctures. We even put into brand new lawnmowers before they left the showroom!

the picture bob shows is on the edge where garages would be sucking through there teeth and shaking there heads then rub there hands and say you need a new tire even though its only 2 weeks old . suppose they have to to cover there asses but nothing wrong with it doing it yourself and its not likely to go down

These are the same ones who very nicely always put a new valve on when the tyres changed for 5 times the retail value or fill them with Nitrogen.... buying a tyre machine was one of my better decisions.... Tyre shops especially the big chains taught double glazing salesman everything they knew.

I used to know a lad that worked in a big tire repair outfit that fit tires quick no names mentioned and not all tires went on the pile with a small nail hole in them that got replaced they used to spray the shockers with wd40 and say they were leaking then take the old ones a better scam than sergeant bilko could think up

I've been in the habit of carrying one of those on every bike for the past 30 years and been glad of it a few times. Since I stopped going in and out of Lunnon Town regularly my incidence of punctures has almost vanished. I used to pick up nails from filtering around traffic islands.
I still carry a tin of it though, just in case. The oldest tin was getting on a bit and I bought another one to back it up, but I'd not be surprised if the oldest one worked fine.

For every job, no matter what, there is always a fiddle somewhere,

Travelling through Germany on day one, of a 10day bike trip, I picked up a puncture in services, it went down in a cars lenght. Took 2 tins of goo the hole was so big, it was bubbling out the hole like baby snot


Instructions said max speed 45kph. It was Thursday and we had to be in Bergen the following Tuesday to get a ferry. So 45kph wasn't an option. Got to Shetland plugged it with a Rema plug kit, and it lasted another 6k after that

This maybe of some interest.
