I appreciate that you left in the part where the adhesive wasn't applied properly but was able to be fixed by adding more. Makes me feel like I won't mess it up even if I rush through the first few steps 👍

Please tell your viewers this is an EMERGENCY repair when you're in the middle of a sand dune with no water to drink or food to eat. I think this kit is perfect for every off-roader....atv or vehicle.

i fix tyres for 35 years i agree it’s emergency repair patch will come off at some point. it’s extremely dangerous to drive with that patch on.

As someone who’s accustomed to working with rubber, the sanding is actually to rough up the furnace not smooth it out. That rough surface helps the adhesive bond more effectively.

@@christophercolumbus8944 Apologies for the delayed response here but a few great points. First of all, this repair is only for off-road use. Secondly, you should be able to find a kit on Amazon at this link: www.amazon.ca/stores/GlueTreadTireRepairAnywhere/page/1276863B-1431-4DFD-A1E9-5957C5844317?ref_=ast_bln

I remember the last time I roughed up my furnace, it soon after stopped giving me heat!

Interesting product. Couple of questions: 1. Should you just run a bead around the whole outside perimeter of the patch once it is on? (hope there is enough adhesive). 2. The "accelerator" - I assume it is really just accelerating the outer adhesive that is peeking out (or the bead you created). Therefore, would I be correct in thinking that there is a whole lot of wet adhesive in the middle where you made the dots...which will continue to cure and get stronger over the course of the next hour? If so, I wonder if maybe had you waited the hour you wouldn't have had to go back and do that extra step where air was leaking out. Thoughts?

@BillySBC 2 жыл бұрын

I wonder if putting the spare on then removing the tire from the rim when you get home and placing the patch on the inside of the tire might work better because the air pressure would then be pressing the patch into the side wall.

@GlueTread 2 жыл бұрын

Billy-- great point. We have many customers that will repair the tire both from the inside and the outside. With that said, the inside of the tire can sometimes be coated with chemicals that react with our adhesive. If you decide to go this route, it is important to make sure you do sufficient sanding and prep work before applying the patch.

@gregeast147 Жыл бұрын

Here's the use case: While off-roading you cut your sidewall on a rock (Not an uncommon occurrence). Rather than attempt to jack the Jeep up with the spindly factory scissor jack and wrestle the spare into place, all while perched on the edge of some shelf road with a 500 foot drop on one side, you apply this patch and drive down the trail to the next good spot to do the swap. This is not intended to be a permanent patch, it's an emergency fix to get you out of a bad spot, and it's great for that.

@davidviner5783 2 жыл бұрын

How about jacking the wheel off the ground.? That would lesson the split's tendency to bulge. What if the split is on the lettering?

@mugshotmarley 2 жыл бұрын

If its around the lettering my guess would be to cut it to fit or sand/grind down the lettering till its flatter and use ALOT of the glue. From past experiences, I never got punctures on the lettering since they stick out from the sidewall and is a lot thicker. Thinking about it, it's probably best to just replace the tire and chaulk it up to one of those unfixable punctures

Would this hold better if put on the inside of a tire

@proofrazor Жыл бұрын

We have had several customers use this patch on the inside of their tires with great success. With that said, this is not an approach that we are willing to recommend yet as we are still in testing for this application.

Trav- Great question. This adhesive was specially formulated to be quick drying and is meant for rubber to rubber application. There was actually significant R&D that went into the rubber formula as well but the combination of both is was really makes the patch hold. Hopefully that answers your question.

I vote for a zoom in, close up of what is going on. I like that on any video...it's just considerate camera work. Well wouldn't you know...around 7:30-ish or so they do zoom in some. I'd just about quit watching though. Maybe our comments will help them to look at how other video camera work is done to make it easier for folks to enjoy their videos.

Why wouldn’t you take the tyre off and apply the patch to the inside lol the compressed air will just push your patch off in long run as opposed to the patch inside the tyre

@GlueTread 2 жыл бұрын

Matt-- This is totally an option and we have some customers that do go this route. With that in mind, our hope for GlueTread is to be a solution that doesn't require the tire to be taken off the rim. Our patches are a great solution for a rescue scenario where someone doesn't have the time, knowledge, tools, or resources to patch a tire from the inside.

Hello! The adhesive is different than most tire related adhesives because it is a cyanoacrylate instead of a rubber cement. There are many types of cyanoacrylates but this adhesive is specifically for tire repair, not just your typical "super glue".
