CANADA GUYS:
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. So with the PR1500 it's more gel like vs water so you will need to make sure to squeeze out the excess.
*********
Thoughts:
Total cost to repair was around 0.50cents of glue. $15 for entire bottle that'll do 30-40 of these large repairs. You can buy a kit(linked above) but I do not know if they have cord reinforced patch material(I don't have anything to do with the company that makes it). I tried for hours to tear this patch off while playing around. I even dropped the pressure from 6.5psi to around 5 to really flex the sidewall and have more contact. I hit rocks, ledges, drove through ice halfway up the rim and high speed turns and nothing harmed it. I inflated it to 30psi before installing just to see if I could stretch/pull the patch off; nope. This is on there permanently and you will destroy the tire before it ever comes off. You could also put a patch on the inside was well or even a typical rubber patch just to make sure air didn't push but I don't think that is necessary. I do think a product like Tire-Ject that I did a video on would be an excellent addition to make these tires bullet proof. Tire-Ject: amzn.to/3JGJ8sI VIDEO on it: • Permanently Fix Flat A...

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.
You weren't changing tires during ww2. At least I'm not the only one that thinks the majority of people stupid.
@@markcobb6561 Some people are in their 90s.
Finally somebody who:
1. knows what he's talking about &
2. can articulate what's the whole story about!
Thank you!
Few people are half as handy, skilled and smart as this guy. You can't just buy this kind of intelligence! I'd suggest taking notes. I definitely am!
Hey Thanks. That's very nice of you to say.
@sixtyfiveford thank you for making the videos!
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.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
@@sixtyfiveford This PR 40 works great! What do you clean it with rubbing alcohol? Do you use any primer? Have you used any 3M Black Urthane and Primer? I have some they use to for wind shields, I think motor mounts and more.
👍.
Man on Cold Morning's it was like you were driving with Square Tires , they would be near flat on the bottom from the car sitting overnite , least how till the tire warmed up in a couple of miles .an the steering was a lil weird as the car sorta swayed back an forth .
@@sixtyfiveford q
Bro! What? This was straight up genius. Never heard of this glue. As an avid mountain biker running tubeless tires this seems like amazing stuff to keep in my emergency kit for repairs to sidewalls. Please do more videos on this glue. Thanks!
I didn't even think about Mountain Bike tires. This would work great for those. Take an old bike tire chunk and some glue and you'd be set.
@@sixtyfiveford 1 question: you say the 3m pr40 glue is cheap... In europe its 40€ for a 0.6ounce bottle. Is it cheaper in the US?
@@rronaldreagan It's $16 usd right now.
There are those CO2 cartridge tire pressurization devices for bicycles ( I am still looking for a 90 gram to 20 gram connector converter attachment ) .
@@rronaldreagan It's still $16.
Wow that glue is impressive. Great fix. Yeah that would be ashamed to throw away such a good treaded tire.
Thanks 👍
Hands down… this is the best, no nonsense, well explained tire repair video on RUclips. Thanks for taking the time.
Hey Thanks.
Project farm needs to add this to his tire patch test video!
Love the video and adding it to the list of things you've recommended!
I have a vision of me sitting beside a dry-rotted tractor tire gluing all the uv-checks together using 3,128 bottles of glue.
Great to know for sidewall punctures. I'll have to keep a bottle handy for small ag tires - sometimes just getting the machine back to a flat surface is all ya want to do a repair.
Heck yeah.
lol
U can take scissors to bike tubes and seal dry rott on tractor tirers be back on the field in no time
Pretty slick fix I can imagine this would be a handy repair for rock crawlers they will love this!!
There's a lot of money lost for offroad damage to these tires.
Slick like the chrome on Snap-On wrenches! 🦾Good stuff!
Super swamper tires that alot of the guys used to use were bias
Gotta say you provide some of the best information in a simple, straight forward manner. Thanks.
Hey Thanks.
The more I watch your channel the more impressed I am by your adaptability and knowledge. That glue looks perfect to repair some torn door weather-stripping I have on a classic car I appreciate the videos thanks!
Thanks Alex. I'm glad you like them. -Moe
Great video thanks for doing it. I am adding this to my kit. I laughed when right after you said you didnt throw the stick in the puddle because you would have to ride home with a muddy puppy and she promptly runs through the puddle on the next throw 😄
Can’t wait till you do RUclips full time. I’m always excited when you post a video.
Thanks Cory, I'm glad you like the videos. -Moe
This is a good video! It shows how to fix even a sidewall puncture. If you want to cut out pieces of old tires and get a $15 bottle of 20 grams of adhesive. Also, that 3M product will be my new shoe repair glue.
Finally! After 100 years they made a great rubber glue? Awesome! Thanks so much for this Well Explained video. Much love Bro! The Doctor is definitely IN !
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
AWSOME job my friend!! I didn’t know that they made a tire glue that strong 💪 and I’ve been fixing my own tires for years 😂
It holds stronger than rubber cemented patches.
Wow the glue is almost invincible I'm very impressed with the bond it makes with the rubber and also nice job patching the tire from the little trail ride you took us on the tire is holding up extremely well thanks for the video.
Thanks man. I was actually originally investigating this glue as something that would remake rubber to steel motor mounts for generators. It does a fantastic job of mounting rubber to steel.
3m needs to pay you for this one! I just bought a bottle and now my offroad kit is complete thanks
Repaired a lot of tyres in my time, mainly motorcycle tyres.
Thank you for the tips, and that 3M glue is heading for my toolkit!
When I am out off-roading with my he-man buddies and rip my sidewall. When they ask what I am doing, I will reply " I'm sewing, you got a problem with that?". This almost needs to be a kit you keep on the side-by in case of rock destruction. Anybody who has been doing serious off-road knows all about this. Thanks for the post.
Moe, you never cease to amaze me with your depth of knowledge in so many different areas! Great job!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
WOW ! I’ve never heard of this stuff before. I will buy a bottle or two along with some scrap bias ply sidewall for trail repairs. Thank You for posting this information !
Thank you for your invaluable repair technique that I will put to good use.I have done many sidewall repairs, but thanks to you I will add pr40 to my arsenal. All the best to you and Ginger from New Rochelle N.Y.
I love your channel because you always tell the fixes no one else tells you about and you save me so much money you are literally the most informative RUclipsr keep it up!
I appreciate that!
Moe, this channel is pure gold. Thanks for your time good sir.
Wouldn't it make more sense to patch the tire from the inside so once it's aired up the inner pressure is pushing the patch in place,also you don't have to worry about a rock or some other object tearing the patch off
Yes yes it would at least be smart to have something on the inside similarity done
You could do that once your back home and can break the bead and can get to the inside sidewall. But what he's showing is the best way when your out on the trail
Almost impossible to break beak on Atv tires when your out in woods. This will get you home and last a long time.
Hard to do in the field plug makes sense in the field
I would also suggest that when you go to sewl it shut before you put the needle through use the smallest drill bit you can find and pre-drill it so that the needle will go through very easily.
Excellent video, thank you. I have a mini digger with a small (2 inch) tear in one of the tracks and I have been trying to find a way of repairing it for months so thanks again. Jon
I work at tyre’s so I’m very impressed with your bush fix.
I must say that glue looks serious glueing power. I’m going to try and track the product down, as I would carry that on the van as a great, get out jail card, for some awkward job, that’s bound to come my way some day . Greetings from Ireland.
Thanks. I'm glad you like it.
I did 13 plugs once! Good video! Bet this would work with RC (radio control) tire glue sold in hobby shops. Its awesome stuff. Would probably work good on Zero Turn rear tires too, thats what I had 13 plugs in.
I literally learn a new thing from you in every video I watch, impressive. Thanks, I’ll remember all this.
Awesome, looking forward to using this on my kubota tires for sidewall damage. Thanks Martin
I always learn something new from you Moe, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Great video again. I appreciate the explanation of why car sidewalls cannot be repaired, many times in the past I have asked the tire shops why and they never had any explanation but now your explanation makes sense. That looks like a great idea to fix the sidewalls of off road tires. Thank you.
Hey Thanks.
Had to come back to this one for full details. How I missed this video is beyond me. Planning a long sxs trip this summer and this is a must. Thanks. Great tips.
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.
For your next video, can you show us how to stitch up a wounded friend on the trail?
...make it quick, if you can. (Asking for a friend.)
Man. I've learned alot from your channel. Stuff i would have never believed. Thank you
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for the video especially the links. I have an old dunnage bag, used in trains to keep loads from shifting. Ripped it trying to lift a work barge ,no one does vulcanizeing anymore this should work perfectly. Thanks again and God bless you and yours
I had a side wall cut about 5” long on a backhoe tire side wall. I put 2 conveyor belt joiners across the cut. Then I put about an 8” boot on the inside. It lasted for years.
nice repair there but if it was me I would put the patch inside the tire and put a flat patch on the out side but keep up the cool videos
Placing the patch on the inside would be the better way to go. But with a low pressure atv tire the patch on the outside will probably be fine.
Absolutely. This is meant for a trail repair to get you back up an going. Even in the shop I would suspect this 10 minute exterior repair would easily push to 1.5hours to put the same patch on the inside with mounting, dismounting etc. I could do it easily but most guys don't have access to the tools to even take an ATV tire off the bead let alone on the trail. My instinct would be to put it on the inside but wanted to do it like I would on the trail. I was literally trying for 5 hours to rip this patch off with rocks. A few dozen times I nearly destroyed the tire elsewhere and put a few more dings in the rims.
Put a tree thru the sidewall of a jeep tire , big ol' gash too. Luckily it was my spare tire😫 this was never going to hold pressure again. So we filled it with various forest debris everything from rocks dirt , leaves and branches 😆stuffed it like a Thanksgiving turkey. We got back off the mountain and to a highway where I called a tow. If a viewer finds themselves in a similar situation I hope this concept helps ✌️
That is hilarious, and I intend to remember it.
Moe, thanks again. You ingenuity, and simple approach to things continues to amaze me. I really enjoy you videos.
Thanks Jason.
This is so cool.....like the part of the story that your father taught you. Yeah, and amazing that this glue can fix 747 tyres.....ha ha....and the spare around your waist too...Thanks for the info & chuckle.
That's amazing glue and a brilliant fix.
Hey Thanks.
Can't tell you how many times I've regular super glued punctures in all sorts of tires and it held up sometimes for years !!! Definitely adding this stuff to my center console just in case
I am SO GLAD I didnt call you an idiot for trying to patch a sidewall BEFORE I watched this video...THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME SMARTER!
Hey Thanks.
I've fixed several sidewall punctures and corner (where the tread meets the sidewall) punctures in radial with simple plug kits. Now, these were all small nail or screw holes, generally so small I had a difficult time getting the plug inserted. All the repairs lasted 10s of thousands of miles until the tire was worn out with no problems.
Hopefully you didn't mount that tire on the front?
@@Eyes0penNoFear Why would that matter any more than the rear? I think that all the tires I did that on were rear tires.
@@BryanTorok I'd think having a compromised sidewall might increase the chance of a catastrophic blowout.
@@Eyes0penNoFear So, I've been told and the tire companies say. But in 50 years of driving, I've never met anyone who actually had it happen to them.
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.
I learned something new. I had been told that a tire with a hole in the sidewall couldn't be repaired with a plug but never had it explained why. Thanks
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. 😁😎
You get real popular when someone needs a oddball item that you have available, or a great work around.
Well said. It's a small bottle and I didn't know how far it would go, but it goes a long way. I was thinking this would work well for those old tractor tires that split. I scrounged up the other stuff and put together a little kit.
Good video, thanks for posting it. I'm impressed with that side wall repair and the glue you used, looks like it really does work well
Really great information, I've discarded an almost new ATV tire due to a sidewall puncture that could have been saved had I known about this. I've ordered the glue from your link. Thanks!
Quick question/comment:
Would this not be better off done on the inside of the tire where it can't be snagged and the air pressure works with you rather than against you?
Yes, always but its nice to see you can do this technique when you're in a pinch and it'll get you home to repair it properly from the inside.
Have you tried grinding up rubber into fine grind or dust and only putting in the 3m glue and filling with the rubber grind? A mix of rubber grind and 3M glue?
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.
Your idea here, great idea for weather checks on old tractor tires at least, thanks!
I been looking for small lawn tractor tire side split can't find the right replacement tire this looks like it will work THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
Thanks for revealing the 3M adhesive - Totally Awesome 😊
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????
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.
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.
A honest to god tire repair! Thanks for the tip on the 3M glue. I've looked at the sidewall repair "kits" but this is far superior. This a great to get you off the trail if you kill a sidewall.
Hey Thanks.
Man your videos are top notch. So much leaning. Some other you tubers have no business making videos. Thanks for this very educational.
Which way are you leaning 🤔
Thanks for sharing. That's some impressive flexible adhesive. From the 3M product brochure. "3M Scotch-Weld PR1500 clear cyanoacrylate adhesive is compatible with abs, acrylic, cork, fabric, metal, nylon, paper, polyolefin, pvc, rigid foam, rubber, thermoplastic and vinyl materials with a 24 hr cure time. Provides a 1 min fixture time. Delivers great performance with a shear strength of 2800 psi and tensile strength of 2900 psi. Minimum to maximum operating temperatures are -65 F to +180 F."
Why would you not repair that from the inside?
I was thinking the same thing. Or one inside and outside.
He probably wanted to prove just how strong his repair is and how well the glue works!
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.
@@donhappel9566 Good point.
@@drstyxquack Well, he darn sure did that!
That was good information about how the radial tires are constructed. That some strong glue!
Hey thanks.
Awesome stuff my man..... These are the types of videos that make RUclips invaluable for everyone for years to come
Thanks man
Your garage looks like mine so much to do do little time! I love that repair, I'm ordering some of that glue today!
Your "out of the box" engineering is brilliant.
Thanks David.
Awesome glue for tire repair. Haven't seen anyone go to the trouble to make this type repair in a long time.
When I was younger, we had to heat vulcanize that type of repair.
Now ur showing ur age ,Dad had not vulcanized patches in a metal tiny sorta dish held with a wind up clamp ,light it up and watch it fizzle til burnt out ,rubber was stuck to underneath the patch ,havnt seen them maybe 40 plus yrs
@@trevorslater2746has it been that long? Dang I'm old😕. Oh well, beats the other option. Back then I worked 20 hours a day, now.....that's a nap.😂
I'm always learning something new as a age..! Thank you for making this video and showing me how to do this.
This is also good to know because I think something is about to happen in this country that we're all not prepared for. They're will come a time. When there won't be any more stores there won't be any more products to buy off the shelf. Everybody will have to learn how to repair their stuff.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it
We used to call it a boot..but we didn't have 3M PR40 glue..all we had was rubber cement and a C- clamp..it worked for a little while till we got a new tire..don't forget to give Ginger her treat..lol..see you on the next one Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a spare tire I did a patch/rubber cement boot on years ago. Never had to use it so not sure how long it would have held up.
That's some powerful adhesive, heck I can think hundreds of uses for that stuff.
Im going on an atv riding trip in a few months. Thanks for the reminder to update my tire repair kit. Great video
Hey Thanks.
You are becoming one of my favorite hackers.
Fantastic tutorial. Couldn't be better. NO music is especially appreciated!👍👍 Thank you very much 😎🇦🇺
Glad you liked it!
This is excellent!
Wish I had seen this before I replaced my Load Range E BfG KO2s with a leaking sidewall puncture.
Shouldn’t have listened to the tire repair shop and replaced it.
Hopefully others will see this video and benefit.
This can’t be used on road tires, no sidewall repair can be done, tire will end up failing and causing an accident
I have a tire similar to this one with a boot in the side wall. Until I saw this I thought I was going to have to replace the tire.
A very informative video that could save someone a load of trouble,. Thanks for making it.
Thanks just gave me an idea as to fix cracked weatherstripping
Amazon is going to see a bump in sales of pr100,I know I just ordered some. Thanks for showing a better way of patching I've had atv tires with dozens of plugs in them lol.
Thanks haven't seen that type of repair in over 40 years.
I watched this video a month ago and I ordered the PR40 glue. I used a patch from the Gluetread patch kit. This glue is crazy. I will give an update once I mount the tire and try it out. Great video
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!
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.
That was really great. you’re a smart guy every time I watch your videos I learn something . Thanks
Hey Thanks.
A couple of more things to add to my overlanding tool kit. Great video.
Thanks 👍
After watching this I can’t believe I’ve broken sowing needles on denim jeans before. That thing was a trooper
Another thing that I never knew about that certainly could have helped me several times in the past. Thanks for the Revelation!
Hey Thanks.
WELL NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! 4 days now since you posted this video and I finally found / watched it. Of course I instantly went to the link to buy a small bottle of the PR40 and they are SOLD OUT / BACKORDERED 🥴 .

That is ONE ☝️ INCREDIBLE tire 🛞 repair 👩🔧!! Although I don’t think 🤔 it’s street legal, it sure will save a LOT of ATV tires 🛞, with their service life otherwise cut short. Again, your friend, Jeff.
That's awesome brother. Thanks for the tip. Definitely will get me some of that adhesive.
Awesome job! Id definitely do this to fix any of my more costly off road tires and get extra life outta em
Interesting video, I have done sidewall repairs on radial tires before using a truck tire patch, and have seen video's where the person sewed the cut like you did.
Thank you for your video.
That upholstery needle and the nylon thread are new to me.
Well this is going to save me on the trails and money! Thank you
I’m not a mountain biker , I’m a NYC biker and I can’t tell you how many tires I’ve been through. Never thought to patch it like an old pair of jeans. (Or better yet like a surgeon)
In this time of hyper inflation and supply chain problems, this is a great fix. I suspect that once a guy does this it'll be the go to option on future repairs
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Cool fix! My brother inlaw bought a brand new Polaris Scrambler when they first brought them out. He unloaded it and drove about a mile before an old culvert hidden in the overgrowth punctured the sidewall. Would have been a good repair for him so that he didn't have to scrub his day of riding and go find a new tire :)
That's life sometimes. I took my brother's brand new Polaris Trailblazer out and rolled it down a huge hill the second day of him owning it. He gave me crap for a long time and it hurt my pocket book pretty bad to repair it back in the day.
I can't believe that clue 😳. I am learning a lot from you since I started watching your channel. Nice job 👏 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
I had a thumb size stick go thru a tar once .. Used them tar plugs was like dam glad i got home . Bless All Fellow Humans
Great fix! Thanks for the tip about Scotch Weld PR 40!
You bet!
Great use of children’s chalk. Some of my grandchildren live to pulverize the chalk for reasons I don’t understand but have to clean up weekly. I have some $30 Fixie tires that have sidewall cuts and yo get me outta Dodge I use aircraft fiberglass cargo pit tape but it bubbles causing it to rub against my frame.. I was going to sew it but needed to ride 5 miles to my employee lot. $30 bike tires are cheap but get expensive when used for less than 50 miles. I’m learning something new from you all the time and my family thinks that I’m a Nikola Tesla. I even have expired Scotch-well. Nice
Pr 40. Thanks for the tip repaired sidewalls plenty wish I had that glue.
Another great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge. One more tool going in my offroad kit.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It bonds like no other rubber glue over ever used. I spent 5 hours intentionally trying to rip that thing off. Ended up ripping some side paneling off my UTV and putting more dents in the rim and the patch never failed.
Good video, I learned about the sidewall construction as well as the glue and patching, thanks Moe.
👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Trailer tires have very robust sidewalls. They'd make a good source for patch material. And they're usually bias-ply.
Awesome job
Glad I found your channel. And that's a great location to ride
Thanks 👍🏻
