An unexpectedly flat tire will bring joy to few people, especially to those who are driving a car. Loss of time, hassle, mud - these are just some of the “joys” that accompany a punctured tire.
Necessary
- Rubber patch,
- sandpaper,
- gasoline 50 g,
- glue for rubber.
Instructions
Step 1
But there are also cases when a drop in tire pressure is associated with its previous poor-quality repair. As practice has shown, the frequent reasons for the repeated repair of the tire are the sealing of the puncture with the help of a flagellum. The technology of sealing a hole in a tire with a flagellum is really good, but only when it is fully observed, and not as is customary in our country. In a hurry, and even under pressure in the wheel.
Step 2
A more reliable repair of a tubeless tire, in comparison with a flagellar repair, is performed by sealing the hole, by applying a rubber patch on the inner surface of the tire to the puncture site.
Step 3
To restore the tightness of the wheel, the puncture site is pre-marked with chalk. Then it must be disassembled, removed from the tire, the punctured object, or its remainder.
Step 4
The area around the puncture, on the inner surface of the tire, is carefully cleaned with sandpaper (you can use an electric drill with a special tip). The cleaned surface is treated with unleaded gasoline, and after it dries, the place of the future location of the patch is covered with a thin layer of glue.
Step 5
On the patch, the protective film is removed, after which it is applied to the puncture site, and then, using a roller, the patch is carefully rolled onto the surface of the tire.
Step 6
The recommended way to repair a wheel tire is more reliable. This is confirmed by the fact that tire workshops refuse to use flagella for sealing punctures and use patches to restore the tightness of wheels everywhere.
