    Construction foam works very well if you aren't doing it to all four tires. My dad has been patching his tires this way for years. It works best if the air is completely gone from the tire and the foam is directly inserted into the air valve so that the rubber isn't cut and the foam has no way to come out.

    We used foam for filling voids in a radioactive landfill. It had (2) 5000 gallon tanks of A/B mixture. Our foam was 30 PSI so that heavy equipment could drive in the cell lifts as they where covered. They said construction foam is normally around 8-12 psi max. We had tons of fun with that gun. A 3second shot would produce enough foam to fill a 55 gallon drum when foam expanded. We filled tyvek suits and had them standing around like workers.

    Foam filled tires are used on construction machines. You need 2 part catylitic foam, not the sealant. The 5 lb per cubic foot mix they use in boat hulls would probably work, but not the 2 lb "floatation" foam. A heavy equipment tire shop will have genuine tire fill foam, but the ride will be like solid wheels, lol. Great vid, results as I expected

    Canned foam requires moisture (h20) from the atmosphere to cure. Inside a tire with that much foam, it will not cure properly, much of it will just stay sticky and goopy. The tire needs to be wetted in the inside in order to provide the required amount of water to react with the polyurethane. That being said I have found that even cured foam does not work in wheels, due to the fact that the foam has no flexibility when fully cured and is just crushed up and becomes useless.

      videoclipits- Thanks for saving me the time to point out cyanoacrylate insulation foams like this require water vapor to cure-
      I have used this type of insulating foam product to replace degraded floation foam in boats, learned the hard way to damp the cavity, only partially fill the desired area, allow first layer to cure, damp remaining volume again, fill some more... some of these repairs I did are now 10 years old and holding up well, but in a boat, they don't get squished like a tire!
      Gasoline will degrade/dissolve cyanoacrylates. If foaming new floation into bilge area of a power boat or other areas exposed to gasoline, you must protect the foam. Line the area to be filled with a heavy polypropylene (not dissolved by gasoline) plastic bag and fill the bag. Odd shapes, you can make your own liner bag from 4mil poly sheet and Tyvek insulation tape.

    The single pack spray foam kinda sucks for this job, I tried it some years ago and it partially cured and the rest actually lost its bubbles and turned back into liquid. what you want is a high density 2 pack system from 3M or similar company, I worked at Nylex Plastics for a few months making ice chests, and thats what we used to fill the voids, that stuff is VERY good. Mythbusters also used it on that airliner they blew up.

    I love the paint job on that thing! Although I would like to see them re-try this with some type of foam that cures anaerobically. I've tried to make a custom foam cushion for S&H on a transfer case. I just sprayed this stuff into a garbage sack, thinking that it would expand and conform to the inside of the box and the transfer case sitting in it, but it never cured, just turned to liquid. So this stuff either needs air to cure, or, as someone else noted, water. But they MUST make some type of foam that cures w/o air, because they have expanding foam packing in a bag that conforms to some irregular objects. That might be the stuff to use for the tire filling experiment.

    The problem with expanding foam is that once cured, if you deform it hard enough it doesnt return to its originally cured shape... So even if you successfully cure it, and you hit a rock or bump hard enough your tire will have a flat spot until you put actual air in it.

      I remember run flat tires of decades ago. There was an outer ordinary tire and a smaller tire within. The wheel had two valve stems, one for the outer tire and one for the smaller emergency tire. A rubber-safe lubricant was in the space between the tires.
      Great idea if adding ten+ pounds to the unsprung weight of each wheel is good.

    The same stuff that I used to fill in round new UPVC windows to the brickwork. I had been supplied with large refillable cylinders of the stuff and the solvent cleaner to soak the hand gun applier at the finish of work. I came back home with a lot of foam left over from the job. So I thought that I would put it to good use. I scarped out the crap sand/cement mortar that had been loose and blowing out for ages around my roof tiles and blasted around the tiles with the expanding foam onto the wood lathes of the roof. Once started I had to keep going has I did not have a lot of solvent left to clean up the tools. So every tile in my roof was permanently fixed with the foam. No bloody winter wind was going to get under my roof for a long time. Ho yea I filled my sons "Noddy" bike plastic tires up has they were wearing very thin were he had been skidding about with it. That was thirty odd years ago. It weighed a bloody ton after that

    @Slazlo-Brovnik 5 років тому

    I did that once as a quick fix at a wheelbarrow. And it did not work: I used a whole can and it did not fill the tire properly although in theory it should be way enough.. I figured the reason is that construction foam is actually a 2 component material needing another component to cure, and that is water. Normal air humidity is usually enough. I am guessing that inside the closed tire there is not enough moisture to really cure all of the foam. Air humidity is used up and then the tire is more or less sealed and dry inside. So it does not expand as much you would normally expect and therefore does not fill the tire.
    I kinda knew that right from the start so I sprayed a bit of water in the tire first, but that did not help, maybe because it did not reach all areas.
    At least thats what I figured could be the cause.

    Seems to me if you set the wheel/tire/foam can together somehow, right into a tire spinning balancing machine, the spray would be filling the tire at a more equal distribution. Then let cure, drive on slowly and repeat till the desired hardness is reached Then you might have a puncture proof tire, but not a blow out proof tire.
