Very interesting, but we all know that the acetone glue will eventually harden, after it has eaten through the innertube and after a few miles in the heat it will disintegrate to a powder. I suggest using this acetone glue with your patch and see if in fact it does work, as far as filling the innertube, I suggest using a liquid glue that will remain liquid in the innertube until it plugs a leak and comes in to contact with air and then it solidifies. You will have to invent that glue first. Bottom line, acetone and styrofoam make a great sealant for furniture and woods and you can add colorants to it and it remains rock-cock hard, but for rubber, I don't think so. Please make a follow up video of the tire in a few months and lets see the results. Many thanks for the video.

I was writing the same thing... 40 or 50 years ago, we used do fix some plastic materials (i.e. the inner part of the door of the fridge) using trichloroethylene as a solvent ("trielina" in italian) and a "patch" of the same material (i.e. taking a piece of an old discarder fridge). But, as you correctly say... the repair is "rigid". It happened some times (not in a mountain bike, but in road bikes using small tires) that the patch failed. Now, I clean better the inner tube, use before glue a solvent on the inner tube (as a solvent I use a very little amount of chloroform on a little cotton pellet ), the normal glue, I tighten the repair for a few hours in a carpenter's clamp, and the work is done.

You are correct, dissolved styrofoam in acetone after evoporation of acetone becomes very brittle almost like a glass. And considering that once you inflate the tire this patch will not be able to expand -- one bump and the glued area will crack or even deattach on the ages. This type of the glue is good for joints which do not experience bending/twisting and that's it. There are plenty glue types to be used to fix bicycle tube, but there is specialized glues for rubber. Unfortunately there are plenty videos with styrofoam and acetone which mislead to believe that it would work.
ESTA GENIAL😊 Para mi hermano willi de pacheco y firulay.😂❤ Hay que mirar el video hasta el final. La mejor parte de los parchesss Esta genial. FELICITACIONES por su tiempo. Hace ahorrar el dinero a quien lo necesite. Gracias totales.Saludos desde Argentina❤❤❤
I would suggest to learn applying commercial patches properly, these are cheap and well available. Why would anybody go through the procedure to dissolve polystyrene in acetone to produce a suboptimal replacement. Acetone is quite aggressive, I would not recommend to fill a conventional tube with the mixture. In 40 years of biking I had only a few occasions of conventional patches failing (probably my fault or the patches were too old) I will stick to the conventional method. From Germany.
The trouble is the patches he had on the tube were those stick on patches, for speed and ease. However, once the innertube loses air through any other puncture/reason those patches have to be replaced as they wrinkle and fail and will not work once the tube is inflated again. It’s still the old glue and patch that and will always work. I gave up those speed patches years ago.
When you sand back the rubber of the inner tube over the site of the puncture, NEVER DO AS HE DID, and that was to touch the newly sanded area with your bare finger, oils from your skin can immediately compromise the site, and the rubber glue may not stick properly, and over time the patch will seperate from the tube. Biggest cause of patch repair failure.
store bought patches work fine IF YOU DON'T TOUCH THE AREA WITH YOUR FINGERS. You will notice the patch that you pulled off, only a little area was not stuck? That was probably the part you touched when that patch was applied, the rest of the patch was stuck hard.
How will he get air in when the glue solidifies in the valve tube? He should have increase the length of the syringe spout to get the glue past the valve tube.
That’s an interesting way of patching, but with all my years of fixing flat tires, I opt for easiest, less frustrating, but more expensive way. Have a supply of replacement inner tubes, and always bring one, along with the necessary tools with you.
I watched the video and found it quite interesting. I have no doubt about its effectiveness, but I’m a bit uncertain about the specific benefits that can be gained from this approach. I understand that the content of the video focuses more on explaining various methodologies rather than presenting alternatives. So, rather than overthinking it, I think it’s best to view this as just one of the options available.
I ride a road bike. I make patches from latex gloves, because they can stretch with the tube which eliminates stress spots & tire distortion that occurs with thick commercial patch. This is particularly a problem with very thin road bike tyres. Anyway I apply the the glue to the tube only & wait for it to mostly dry before pressing the latex patch over the glue, bonding the latex instantly. That way the latex doesn't go or wrinkly & distorted from the glue solvents, but it still sticks great. The latex can be very thin & a single layer might eventually wear through over many long rides, so I put a 2nd layer of latex over the 1st one to give it more durability. When the tube inflates, the latex patch expands perfectly with the tube, so there is no thin spot, flat or lump that might make the wheel run untrue. I have done many big rides on this patching system & never had a single patch fail. Most patches are from thorns & this is a great way to patch those. If it's an actual tear or cut from glass etc I'd probably go for a more structural patch or simply swap out the tube. But for the thorn pin pricks, the latex gives by far the best result & is quick too. I have cycled many hundreds, probably thousands of km on these latex glove patches & not ever had one leak again or detach from a tube. It's a very reliable durable and high quality patching system.
Yo he probado ese liquido, dentro de la camara se secara entre 3 semanas a 3 meses como maximo, si le agregas acegona por cada mez solo se extendera hasta 6 meses y luego hay que volver agregar nueva mezcla.
Thanks for sharing your smart idea ! I've always have the same slow leak problems from the store purchased patches in my fifty years of serious riding.
California, USA. Years ago we used a hot patch; Clean the leak area, stick on patch, overlay with clamp device that contained flammable material, light the patch cover, permanent vulcanized patch when cool.
У чёрно-оранжевой заплатки отличный адгезивный слой и если использовать клей из того же набора, что и заплатки, то получается очень качественный ремонт камеры! Я много раз клеил проколы в полевых условиях и всегда отлично!
Thorn resistant tubes are a little bit heavier but worth it. I used to buy the Forte brand for my Gary Fisher and road bikes. At the moment I have slimes, but I'm that confident with them honestly. Would love to try this someday.
I only use Rema patches after using cheap ones. I'm in the USA. My father talked about the old patches needing to be heated with a metal iron, heated by matches.
I find it to be the cost savings light-weight rubber used for the innertube. After a year or so the tire goes flat if it sits for a few hours. I change my bike over to the heavier "thorn proof" innertube and never have a tire deflate again.
I work with this stuff all the time. Heat doesn't make it "dry" it makes it sticky and more pliant, the only way to dry it is to expose it to air and the acetone evaporates (fairly quickly I might add) which, as others have pointed out, hardens the Styrofoam into a rock. I too am very skeptical about this solution.
When I was young there was a device not much more than a piece of wire, that maybe attached to the fender, that sat right above the tire ! It's job was to catch thorns, pieces of glass, etc., from being allowed to seat deeper into the tire, as the device wouldn't allow but one half rotation of the tire, before the device would dislodge the object ! Worked great ! But as any real bicyclist knows, the most effective thing, is watching where you're going ! 👍👀
I've got an Electric Tyre Vulcanizing Machine which Welds the Patch on ! Of course, since I bought it a couple of years ago I've never had a Puncture ! I will have to have a go at making some glue and injecting it into my Tyres !
Use Fix A Flat works great no removal. To seal with a patch use gel crazy glue. Use Green Slime and roll the tire to prevent the tire from having a flat again. Prevent a hole in the first place, get a polyurethane plastic strip online and use hot melt to attach to your tire . No nail or thorn will ever puncture your inner tube again. I always use a poly strip with thorn proof inner tube stops nails too.

Ok, your method is very good, but the time the glue liquid stays in the inside of the bicycle, it will dry out and become ineffective. I think it's only suitable for about 30 minutes. But anyway, that ’s a good idea! Thank you sir. I am from Vietnam.

i thought the same indeed... we need a better solution then... a nice diy glue to be a substitute of sealant would be great!

Yep these patches work 99% successfully if applied correctly. Anyways, with two punctures it would be better buying a new tube.

What an amazing trick! Your solution not only repairs the tire but also prevents future punctures. It’s like magic! Keep up the great work!

Its better to have patches. They weight nothing
If you have nothing else its a great idea and I'm Canadian.
On lawn tractor wheels it would also work and save you the price of a tube.
There are several commercial products to fill tyres and previous punctures. 'Slime' for example. Much easier.
If that's where you keep your keys, your bike's not going to be there when you get back anyway.

The best way is a new inner tube
Cheapest, since 'eviromental' safe glue don't work.
Never use a puncture repair outfit...total waste of money...carry spare inner tubes...
А ещё лучше новый велосипед.

Check the tire inside by touch for remaining pieces of wire or glass that caused the flat in the first place. Store patches always worked for me.
Soy de cuba es increíble 👏
