We found bead sealer, the rubbery black glue, works pretty damn good over using rubber cement for the last application over the patch area. Sticks better and last a heck of a lot longer through weathered temperatures like humidity and going from cold to hot.
Great video. As an actual tire design engineer (40 years) you just need to point out that the tire is a "Training tool" as you can't have a lot of repairs in a tire or even just two if they are too close together. Otherwise Great training video
Thank you for the informative video! If for drilling the hole the local shop uses a regular steel drill bit, not a tungsten carbide bit, how concerned should I be? Should I let them continue with the repair? Pretty much all the local shops use regular drill bits I'm not going to be the customer to tell the professional that "he's doing it wrong".
I recently took tire to Sams Club for such repair. Tire flipper made install, called me over shorty after pointing out repair didn’t take with soapy solution. I could clearly see air escaping , He blamed it on nail direction entering tread = bogus excuse. Needless to say I was pissed instructing him to install spare tire. Days later I inspected patched tire finding no air escape, put 35lb in & have been driving it for over week. I’m not sure what happened but hope it holds till after holidays
@@Balakay27 Good question. I usually plug tires but decided to get proper patch job. Such patch requires tire demount from rim , inspected on inside removing damaged material , filling void with rubber & sealing innerliner. Getting tire off rim would of taken me extra time seeing I don't have access to tire demount machine so Sam's around corner was going to be my sure fast fix. Unfortunately, that wasn't case. Flipper failed to install patch seen in video properly. Month later tire started leaking again ended up purchasing new ones
Went to sam’s club today. Had slow leak. They did not want to do this. Said you have a tiny hole. If we plug it we have to make a big hole in it to plug it. And we might not even make the bigger whole in the right place. I finally after 45 minutes said I do not trust you with my tire. Hope I was not wrong. This video is how it is done and the way I wanted it done. Tire only had 1556 miles on it. Is their any other way to fix it other than a plug? Which I will not do.
A patch seals the liner but does not fill the hole from the object that damaged the tire. A string/rope repair will fill the damaged area but does a poor job sealing the tire and they can accidentally get pulled out of the tire. A Patch/Plug will both fill the damaged hole in the tire AND seal the liner of the tire. It is also the proper method to repair a tire. Thanks for watching!
A patch goes on the inside of the tire and seals the water from coming inside the tire and the sealer keeps the air from escaping. A plug is just rubber you stick in the hole from the outside of the tire and you cut the ends off. A plug can be done without taking the tire off a patch the tire most come off the rim. A patch is better for long term I had a patch done and 3 years later still holding air a plug is more temporary until you can get a patch done
Yes, even the smallest weight of that patch can cause imbalance, and also the tire may not be seated on the exact spot it was prior, therefore it would need to be rebalanced anyways
@@Car1osGonza1ez Those wise guys at Walmart failed to rebalance after patching -- I noticed the difference when I got on the freeway! Took it back and made them rebalance it. Back to normal now. Thanks.
@@tedmartinpadres Yeah, that tends to be the case. Not sure if they are supposed to since that's a fee they charge separately, but I assume you got it for free. Glad that they did so regardless. Good for future reference tho 👍🏽
@@Car1osGonza1ez Costco repair tires for $11 as of 08/22. They also rebalance which I saw new wheel weights after a nail fix. Easy for them since they have like 2 balancers in each tire center. And they don’t upsell you for $ fir “lifetime” balancing and add tire pressure, turning a $11 fix to $50.
Good video I hope this is just for educational purposes But how many patches you gonna do on the same tire 🤔 did it already exceed the mileage limit 55,000 just get a new tire
Yes, the hole is slightly bigger but it becomes a perfect circle for the Patch/Plug to bond to rather than a damaged opening. It is not "adhesive" when performing this process. The patch is chemically bonded to the tire. When performed properly, this repair is approved by tire manufactures. If you don't agree, feel free to buy a new tire.

Watching this at the shop while my tire gets patched. Lol cool to know what they're doing in there.
You hope that's what they did, lol.
@@jjlritchie lol fair enough. It's still holding up
Facts this me right now waiting for it to get finished 😂😂😂 what a way to start my day today
Fact it you don't know if he is doing this kind of patch or a regular patch. The plug patch is more expensive and some places don't get them
@@jjlritchie Most shops are only allowed to do patches not plugs cause patches are a more effective repair and hold up longer
I ran over something but I got a patch done and the tires held up for a while now so I’d definitely recommend patches they are the best repair
These are the best as they have the added reinforcement of both a plug and a patch. Should last you the life of the tire of done correctly

can you show a bead sealer on a clip

very true
Very cool job sir
He did say it was "a little mock up scenario."
He did mention at the beginning that it was a mock up scenario.
You have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting two repairs that are too close together during the lifetime of a tire.
solid videya thank you for this magical spell of tire patching that is now added into the spellbook

A regular drill bit works fine in real life, too.
@@gregperry7655 Great, thank you!
Turn into a boss and demand they use a reamer after drilling.
Thanks for the refresh feels like I’m back in auto tech school😬🤙
How do you plug the staple that’s in your tire
If the nail/screw goes into the area between the tread, can this still be an effective repair?
christopher mcferrin yes
Yes anything other then the sidewall or the ends of the tire are okay to repair.

Go to another shop. As long as the puncture isn't in the sidewall or shoulder (outer edge of the tread), it can be repaired.
Dalton Merritt would you happen to know the avg cost of this would be? Heard it should be like 20
Around $20 is right.
@@ericn8742 I got a patch done patch was 3 dollars and labor was 27 so roughly 32 dollars after taxes so not overly expensive
What is the difference between a patch or a plug except the cost? Is the patch recommended because of the warranty or is it safer?

how many hour before u put air in the tire?
pretty much right away. I give it 5-10 min to let the sealer coat dry.
Should only take less then 20 minutes to repair the tire

Personally I prefer a patch. More work more cost but I believe they are a much better repair
Also, every day is Halloween walking around looking like a pirate.
Always use 2 piece whenever possible. Works much better than the 1 piece all the pros I know swear by it.
I patched a side wall and it never leaked or had any problems i drove it around for 5 years then i sold it.
Great video ! Thanks
Great Video. What patch are you using, and where can I buy one? Thank you.
Good video I hope this is just for educational purposes
But how many patches you gonna do on the same tire 🤔 did it already exceed the mileage limit 55,000 just get a new tire
It’s a tire my students practice on. Tires get a lot of love having 50 students practicing patching each year.
If a tire has more then one patch usually they tell you to buy a new tire cause lots of patches can start to weaken the tire
Makes the hole getting bigger. Only hang on a adhesive. Bad
Yes, the hole is slightly bigger but it becomes a perfect circle for the Patch/Plug to bond to rather than a damaged opening. It is not "adhesive" when performing this process.

In Indonesia we called patch Tire is Tiptop
What if the damn screw is under 45 degree angle? Will the plug work ok?
You need a two-piece patch. Search TH-cam: Professional auto repair - mighty auto parts.
th-cam.com/video/2QR1vag1N9Q/w-d-xo.html
Yes just follow the same way the screw went in
This guy has to be the manager of the shop it seems like he hasn't done this in quite a while
Why do you think so.
Good video!
Good job sir ;) i saw a few tire kit do you think is this safe ? And guess driver loves nail it look already 3 patch there :)
I always wondered. Thanks.
That's another box checked on your bucket list.

Hello can you tell me how to fix a tire with wires sticking up I patch it already and it work for 4 days and went down
shawna-kay cameron you need to replace the tire if wires are sticking out. Sorry
Well I plugged it and it stop so I guess I’m watching it
If you got cords popping out you need new tire that’s very unsafe
How long will a patched tired last?
If done properly, until the tire tread wears out. It will last the life of the tire.
You underestimate the view of the camera.
Where did this guy film and mount the camera??? On the roof!!!🙄😂😂😂.
Don't get upset at me, he keeps apologizing for the camera 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂.

They probably only done a Regular patch. Because a Patch/Plug job cost around $25
Good morning from Baku Azerbaijan: Boys I am looking for machine which produce tire repair string any support appreciated
Not to criticize, but for the diyer, a few more closeups would give the confidence to attempt the patch. Thanks
Thank for the feedback. I will try and get the camera closer next time. It is a lot to juggle making these. Glad you enjoyed it.
Perfect!
