Tire Repair Patch

Have a nail stuck through a tire and it is losing your tire air? You can fix your tire easily with Tire Repair Patch.  Remove the valve core and allow the air to purge completely from the tire. While you’re waiting, remove the wheel weights from the rim using the wheel weight-removal hammer. You need to dismount your tire from the rim, so you can work on the inside of the tire. Look at the inside of the tire to locate the screw or nail. You have to remove the nail, you can use pliers or screw driver to pull out the nail from your tire. Once the nail removed use a buffing tool scuff inside of the tire and smooth around the hole, make sure it is big enough that the patch will cover it. Use the brush in the vulcanizing fluid and apply a thin layer sufficient to cover the patch area, but not enough to cause it to pool up. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the fluid to dry (follow label directions). Peel the protective cover off of the sticky side of the plug patch and prepare to insert it into the tire hole. Use steady pressure push the pin of the plug patch through the hole in the tire. Line up the patch where you want it to be when it contacts the tire. Using pliers to pull on the pin end while pushing on the patch end, do this until you feel the patch flatten out against the tire. The pin will pull off the pug when it is all the way through. Mount and air up tire, balance before installing back on car. Cut off the excess plug that is sticking out through the hole.
