To patch the inside of any
tire you just follow the instructions below.
Items needed:
Paper towel or
rag
Any bicycle tube patch
the type with glue not the glue less patches.
Brake Clean - this can
be purchased at any Wall Mart or automotive store for
around $2.00.
Hair dryer.
First take a paper towel and
dry the area to be patched.
Then take a hair dryer to
the area even if it does not look wet the rubber used in a
tire will absorb moisture form the air. Dry for 30 seconds
or longer if needed.
I then use automotive brake
clean or liquid tire buff and clean the area to be patched.
(Sanding these thin tires does not work as well as the brake
clean) Then use the hair dryer to evaporate the brake clean.
Another 30 seconds.
You then apply your glue and
use the same dryer to aid in the drying process. Then simply
take any tube patch and apply (Use small bicycle tube
patches). The dryer will not only dry the moisture from the
tire but will warm the rubber so the patch will stick like
Velcro even on the sidewalls.
