    During WW2, tire rationing meant we had to repair holes. We used "blowout patches" put on the inside with rubber cement and the tube, when pressurized, held the patch against the inside tire wall. When the tire became bald, we regrooved the contact surface. Also, we recapped the tread using heat. I remember the vulcanizing. The tube patches were sometimes vulcanized. The tube patch had a metal dish with a sulfur material held down on the tube with a jig. A match lit the sulfur and the heat melted the patch into the tube. The glue you showed would have been a miracle back then. Also, we took the tire off the rim without removing the wheel. After military service, I came back and worked for The Armstrong Rubber Co. that made All-State tires, too. Tire building from start to finish was very interesting. Loved this You Tube video.

      Perhaps this gentleman served in the last two years of the War; and joined when he was 16 - and a lot of kids did back then. There are still a number of guys who are now in their mid to late 90's, mind's intact, who served. I'm betting he's real. If he's not, does that really make you superior? Some of us are just willing to be kind. Who the hell cares IF he lied? It was an interesting story!

      I have found a small box of "SIZZLE PATCHES" that was thrown out in the trash years ago. I have been using fire heat to glue rubber to rubber. The melting process is just as strong as the PR40. I never had a failure. Also, did not have to buy the 3m product either. Both work and also repaired the threads on tires that are odd sized and not made any more. They never failed me or my framer friends either.

    I remember when radial tires came out and that it meant that the reinforcement cords formed radii all the way around the tire, but it never occurred to me what bias ply meant until your explanation. The cords are on the "bias" which means they're at a 90 degree angle to each other and then at a 45 to the radius of the tire. Thanks again for the education. Nice job.

      Just a heads up the 3M PR40 can be hard to find/expensive in Canada. Any of the 3M PR series glues work just fine and one maybe easier/cheaper to come by(pr40, pr100, pr600, pr1500). The only difference in those glues is the thickness.

    Great fix on the tire. I hadn’t heard of the 3M PR40 Rubber Weld. I will be buying some. I have had fair success gluing weather checks on mower tires but I used regular super glue. The Rubber Weld should improve the success rate.
    I also have made orings by cutting a larger ring and gluing it back together to the proper sized. Never had a fail, but the PR40 would be better.
    I can see having a tire repair kit in the Go To Hell bag. Even through it isn’t recommended for anything other than off road, it will get you to a place where you can get a tire.
    I would think if I took your idea and cut some patches to carry in the GTH Bag along with the necessary sandpaper and glue that could be done for a lot less than $23.00. 😁😎

      @sixtyfiveford  2 роки тому +1

      Honesty I think you're pretty safe if it's only 1 plug on the high side of the sidewall on a truck or LT rated heavier tire. I wouldn't dare "anymore" on a car tire, especially in the dead center where the sidewall is only around 1/8" thick. I had a plug dead center in a small car tire wiggle it's way out after months and probably 5k miles. It just flexed so much and the air pressure behind it finally shot it out. I heard it as I was exiting the freeway and was able to still drive around a mile into a parking lot. On a LT truck tire, on the high side of the sidewall before the steel belts the sidewall quickly gets up to around 1/2" thickness which would hold a plug decent. Now with that, not all plugs are created equal. They do sell plugs that are wrapped with cushion gum(raw uncured rubber) and when used with vulcanizing cement become an actual permanent part of the tire. The tire I tore by hand in the video was a passenger rated tire for a normal mid size car, suv, or small truck and you saw how easily it tears.

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  2 роки тому +5

      I don't think it would have the strength needed to hold a repair together. All of these glues and epoxies have pretty low strength when pulled directly apart. Their strength comes from overlapping two pieces together and then pulling sideways(lap shear). This is the high psi number you'll see on all the bottles of glue/epoxy. Mixing rubber powder/pr40 would fill gaps well though. So maybe if you had a depression under the patch you could put that mixture in. Or maybe for a spot where a chunk of rubber is missing from the sidewall but not really a hole.

    Two years ago I bought two new front 16" tractor tires because of same kind of side wall hole, I still have the old tires I might try this fix sometime. I tried volcanize patch on inside but the hole ripped bigger to three inches and and failed, I think what I need is that thread you have to stitch it back together but i want a better needle to do it with, thats what you need to show for us, the right needle that will work easy. Now the question is where'd you get that buffing tool????

    • @donhappel9566
      @donhappel9566 2 роки тому

      Milwaukee actually sells an M12 tire buffing specific tool but unless that's your pro I can't imagine you'd buy one. His is just a regular M12 die grinder with what looks like a 2" roloc disc.

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  2 роки тому +2

      Yeah, any right angle die grinder(cordless or pneumatic) with a course grit roloc disc makes short work of rubber removal. You could even chuck it into any drill and do the same. One of my first attempts with sidewall repairs(15-20yrs ago) I put multiple rubber heavy duty cement patches and then a tube inside the tire. It held for a month and then the tube worked it's way out and tore a bigger hole in the process. This PR40 bonds better than any patch I've ever put on and the ability to use old sidewall as patch with reinforcement cords is a huge plus.

      With the tyre off the rim, you can use an awl to make sewing easier. A leather needle would be good as the broader flat tip slices the material rather than trying to push it aside.

      Certainly it would be preferable, but as a field fix dismounting and remounting the tire is a tough job. Typically you're be on a trail somewhere miles from anything when you needed this sort of repair. I think he was mostly trying to demonstrate that it was something you could do anywhere, not just in the shop.

    On a car radial tire i successfully repaired a similar hole when i had no choice but to try. I had to make it to work in order to make enough to buy a new tire. I followed similar steps but i patched the interior of the tire hole. I hsed an air "disc grinder" with a 2 inch circular sanding pad (green) to scuff it really good. I popped the bead by placing a piece of 2x10 on the tire, to the edge of the rim and slowly drove my car up it until it popped.
    The repair worked so well i didn't change the tire for a few months. I could have went longer but i needed the new york dreaded annual insoection.

    I 've got new news for patching the sidewall on a riding awnmower tire. My rear engine Cub Cadet had a sliver of metal stuck into the inside rear tire. Tire is 16 x 6.5 x 8. The hole was about 1/4 inch wide. I took rubbing alcohol and cleaned off the area. I then used JB Weld epoxy on the "slit", putting a small thin layer on it. I let it dry overnight. The tire is fxed. I fixed it yesterday and mowed the lawn this morning. It hasn't loss any air. So try JB Weld epoxy on your next riding lawnmower flat tire on the sidewall. You heard it hear first.

    I saw your video and thought I would get a small kit to do what you did. I had a riding mower that had a thumb tack hole in the side wall. Nothing compared to your hole. It came from Glue Tread. Did everything they instructed and it corresponded to what you showed. Because I "cleaned" out the hole it made the hole bigger. Put the patch on with their adhesive. DID NOT WORK So I order some PR40 to try again. 3 days after letting the other adhesive bond it peeled off like taking a bandage off your skin. Put the PR40 on instead of the doesn't work adhesive and tire is good to go. Thanks for your help

    Back in 2003 I bought a new ¾ ton pickup. My girlfriend & I had gone somewhere, and when we got back to her house I noticed a big thorn in the sidewall of one of the tires. As the truck was less than 6 months old, I didn't want to have to buy a new tire. I pulled out the thorn, and the tire was leaking. Quickly I grabbed my plugging stuff, and put a plug in. It held, and it remained in the sidewall until the tire was worn out & I had to replace it. I thought I'd have to get a new tire in a few days, but it lasted over a year, and untold miles in rough terrain!

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  2 роки тому +1

      I've noticed it holds up better on LT Truck tires as they have thicker sidewalls. I did it on a tiny car tire and it lasted for 6 months. Plug ended up just sliding out as I was getting off the freeway. I was able to hear it and pull off into a parking lot before it went fully flat. I figured I got an extra 6 months out of the tire and replaced it. It was dead center in the thinnest part of the sidewall and the constant sidewall flex just allow it to work it's way out. They do sell actually cushion gum tire plugs they will vulcanize to the tire but after cutting up so many tires and seeing how easily they tear by hand it will still make me nervous.
