Freebird Posted August 16, 2012 #1 Posted August 16, 2012 Had a flat on the trailer about 3 weeks ago. I think I can plug it though.
a1bummer Posted August 16, 2012 #2 Posted August 16, 2012 Better use one of those "boots' you apply from the inside. If that doesn't do it, try Seafoam. It fixes everything else, right? Bill
Barry.B Posted August 16, 2012 #3 Posted August 16, 2012 I think if you use the chunks of rubber flying off a Metzler ME880 tire you could probably plug your tire and have spear rubber
Mike G in SC Posted August 16, 2012 #6 Posted August 16, 2012 And just when did you realize it was getting soft? Oh, and never mix Seafoam with Balance Beads,,, sparks,,, don't ask.
bongobobny Posted August 16, 2012 #7 Posted August 16, 2012 Are you using a rifle or handgun to plug it with partner...
Monty Posted August 16, 2012 #8 Posted August 16, 2012 Mike, this is a PG site. Let's stick to the topic of the flat tire.
tomephil Posted August 16, 2012 #9 Posted August 16, 2012 Whatever you use, don't use blue locktite... Well maybe if you use it with seafoam.
Brake Pad Posted August 16, 2012 #11 Posted August 16, 2012 always carry an extra tube of Liquid nail, and after it dries in, squirt it with some windex, tire fixed:confused24:
Flyinfool Posted August 16, 2012 #12 Posted August 16, 2012 And here I thought Seafoam was just for engines. I thought that a bag of uncooked rice fixed everything else..... Yea that'll do it, just put it in a bag of uncooked rice for a month and it will be fine.
eusa1 Posted August 16, 2012 #13 Posted August 16, 2012 The edge of the rim looks nice too!! Are those Diamond cut wheels??
Guest tx2sturgis Posted August 16, 2012 #14 Posted August 16, 2012 One word: Mac. Oh wait...wrong thread....
Bvinson Posted August 16, 2012 #15 Posted August 16, 2012 I can't believe no one has it right... that needs Duct Tape for a proper repair.
bendtdj Posted August 16, 2012 #16 Posted August 16, 2012 I grew up in Minnesota and I can think of only one thing to say about this, UFF-DA! Dave
AKRefugee Posted August 16, 2012 #18 Posted August 16, 2012 Have you tried condensed milk? Works on radiators I am told so it should fix that tire right up don't you know. Ride Happy, Ride Safe
Snaggletooth Posted August 16, 2012 #19 Posted August 16, 2012 You gonna list it on fleaBay as "Adult Owner, Gently Used"? I mean they have tried to sell used spark plugs........... Mike
KeithR Posted August 16, 2012 #20 Posted August 16, 2012 Drop By I have 3 new tires and rims in my garage you can have. Keith
KIC Posted August 16, 2012 #22 Posted August 16, 2012 Ace Hardware sells that can of spray on rubber. Just coat the inside and you should get another 80 to 90 thousand miles out of that one.
CaptainJoe Posted August 16, 2012 #23 Posted August 16, 2012 As Homer would say : Dooooooooooooooah! Ya can fix it with a tube and some foam in a can, then use duct tape tape, If you want to make it look good!
TDunc Posted August 16, 2012 #24 Posted August 16, 2012 I can't believe no one has it right... that needs Duct Tape for a proper repair.
Marcarl Posted August 16, 2012 #25 Posted August 16, 2012 It's the acid rain I tell, shouldn't have left that baby laying there for so long. Get some baking soda, make a good slurry and throw it over the tire, wait til it quits foaming and then add the duct tape to cover up the mess. To re inflate, put propane torch into the tire and let it blow in there for about 5 minutes or so, no fire, stand back a little, then light it up and watch how cleanly a job is done.
