My kits come with a metal can of rubber cement. You put the tip in the hole and inject a small amount so it gets inside around the hole. Then inject the plug. I have later removed the tire and looked inside. The head is actually glued in place. I have done 8 or 9 repairs this way over the years. Never had any of them leak for the life of the tires. Keep a kit in each of my cars.
When you pulled up on the plug it narrowed quite a bit as stretched. Seems to me the perfect time to get some rubber cement into the hole all round the plug then with gentle/careful pulls work the cement down in deep. Might not be needed but for those who like to overdo things to insure success it could be just the ticket. I usually use the sticky treated plugs with cleaning rasp tool and insert tool in the kit and have never had one fail,even did one that took two plugs(ran over a 1/4" concrete tie) in the same hole but it got me the 32 miles to home in -20F weather,and at night on lonely country gravel roads too.I was relieved to see the lights of home!. I keep a kit,stocked with plugs,in each truck because I'm lazy and get as close to the project as I can to load/unload ,but,near buildings is the prime place to get punctures. Oh yes,I also keep a 12v air compressor in each truck too for repairs on the road. Those compressors are slow but the entire repair can be done in 10-20 minutes depending how much air was lost.
I think rubberized cement will only help the tire bond to rope plugs, mushroom plugs are made out of a different sort of rubber that doesn't bond to the tire so the rubberized cement might not do anything except potentially mess with the seal and cause a leak
Good video. I've used these exclusiely over the years and I've never had one leak, even when used non-temporary. My local garage used them exclusively as well.
Wow, what an awesome job making this video. Internal view and external is the best teaching aid one can ever ask for. Thank you very much for taking the time to make and upload this video.
I have used this method for years on construction sites where most of the tires are bias ply, but do not use on steel belted tires as it will cut the plug quickly, also it will break the belts in the tire. I've always aired the tire up to the correct pressure before inserting the plug, it will go in much easier.
This only works well if you have an air source to refill the tire. Won't work on the side of the road in a pinch because it takes too long to apply the plug. You would have to be pretty quick to keep as much air in the tire as possible! I'll stick to the old plug type with the hand tools. You don't have to ream so much to fit the plug in the hole.
Well, seems like more money than a regular old plug. Also, now you have a little rubber thing flying around inside the tire. Making noise when slow and also hitting the tpms on the valve stem. Not something I'll be buying for sure.
Technically you don't need that little plastic tip to push through the tire all you need to do is cut the end of the shaft at an angle and it'll slip right in the tire been using those things since the 70s and you don't need oil just put some glue on there I run those plugs as much as 20,000 MI and without a problem
It's cool as a temporary fix for sure. Better than being stranded or having to replace with spare tire. Sometimes I'm well dressed and don't want to get dirty lol
Thanks, the idea is good but the nozzle is a little bit too wide. I think I'd prefer to use the string type repair kit if I had to fix a tyre in an emergency.
Comments regarding a quick fix. I would forgo this one, and use the 'rope' style. Cheap and faster and easier. For me personally, I consider the rope type as a permanent repair. Used them at least a dozen times, only had one leak. The technique shown here certainly works but is not any more effective. If I had an inflation source, I wouldn't even bother with my spare. Plug inflate, get on your way. - Cheers
Oh sure you can see what he is doing but what about the chunk of rubber that he used on the tip of the gun you don't want a chunk of rubber rolling around inside a tire/tyre for any length of time so it's not really a good tool
@@rickmartin7062 that chunk won’t hurt anything. Some people use plastic beads inside as balances now. Not that I would. But that little piece won’t hurt.
I had this done as a temporary repair and when i took my car to my local shop for tyre replacement they said they can actually take the mushroom repair out and put a proper patch in so saved me a new tyre
This was a common way to repair a bias ply tire back in the 60's and 70's. Back then the gun was powered by your air compressor and was considered a permanent repair. They worked great. This is the same idea reintroduced.
Great tutorial buddy, I'm a little sceptical about using this method. I guess the internal air pressure is supposed to hold the rubber bung up. It being used with no adhesive is for me is questionable. Definitely a get out the brown stuff situation use only. I myself wouldn't want to keep this in permanently 🤔.
Lubricating the hole with fresh rubber solution ( and the un-oiled plug head + outside of the insertion nozzle? ) and inserting IMMEDIATELY will result in the strongest bond possible ( when the solvent evaporates + penetrates the tyre rubber ) ... this method also works well with the sticky strip kits .... this will also last the life of the tyre ! ( the tool will need to be cleaned , but it is worth it ! ) ..... DAVE™ .....
these dont work on steel belted tires, the woven steel cuts the plug very quick. i bought one of these in the seventies, it worked great for my atv tires, i also didnt put oil on the plug, i coated the entire plug with glue and the hole too
So you get a puncture: Stop at the roadside. Take the tyre off (maybe you can do it with the tyre on but that's not demonstrated here) 10min Remove screw/nail - and let ALL the air out 3min Roughen hole with tool Insert mushroom end into device with plastic "nosecone" stuck on end. Insert gun into hole Nosecone released into tyre where it will spend it's life rattling around inside, loose, possibly damaging any TPMS sensor you have. Pump the gun to insert the mushroom cap Pull up the cap until you "feel it's seated" Cut off excess. Now completely refill tyre with air from an air pump you also need to have. 5min Refit tyre to car. 10min As opposed to: Stop at the roadside. Keep tyre ON (0min) and remove screw/nail Quickly insert roughening tool so as little air escapes as possible (10sec) and roughen hole with tool Insert rubber strip into eyelet of tool Insert tool into hole so about 3/4" rubber still sticking out Quickly pull tool out (will leave rubber in hole). Cut off excess. Now partially refill tyre with air from an air pump you also need to have. (2min) (No need to refit the tyre as it's already on - so that's 0min) th-cam.com/video/6T-rmhXUR8o/w-d-xo.html
They've taken a simple, foolproof, permanent process and made it ten times worse (and as the video says, temporary). This uses no glue and leaves a plastic bead inside the tire to make noise and cause internal tire damage. It also uses a (relatively) complicated tool that will seize internally or suffer some other form of breakdown when left in the trunk (or boot) for extended periods. This is progress? The mushroom plug idea is interesting. The regular two pointed handle system (one to ream and shape the hole, and the other with a needle eye to insert glue coated plugs) works well and is simple in the extreme. Good work from the videographer though.
That is a perfect instruction video, but I m still doubt the result because there no glue; I'm better using the old system, it works, and there's no problem at all.
Good Day Sir, I would like to have one set kit, where can I buy the kit ? and how much the price? I have a tire shop here in CEBU, PHILIPPINES. Thank You and God Bless

Ingenious! Its essentially a pop rivet for tires.
👍
You’re a F……. Genius, not one explains and shows like you.
Thanks for watching !
So the plastic leads you put on top of the gun to push the gun into the tire falls into the wheel and stay there to rattle???
Yes it remains in the tire until it's removed at the tire shop. I'm only demonstrating how to use the kit, I have nothing to do with its design :)

Anyone that plans on carrying tire plugs surely carries a small tire inflator...I know I do.......
Useful skill for every driver. Thanks for sharing!

Great demo 😀👍
Thank you 👍
I like the rubber material better. More glue and rubber material coming out a little while it cures for few days, creating a better and safer seal.
I agree
Sticky Strip - faster and more sealing! 👍🏻😉
are these temporary fix or are they permanent fix? and do they work on radial tires?
Well, seems like more money than a regular old plug. Also, now you have a little rubber thing flying around inside the tire. Making noise when slow and also hitting the tpms on the valve stem. Not something I'll be buying for sure.
Dumbest comment on the internet today, thank you.
@@409novaman Nope, yours was.
... not dumb makes sense.. you don't want that plastic piece eventual wearing at the rubber liner 🤔

Are they vulcanising rubber plugs which moulds into the tire rubber? Would you get a more permanent patch if you could use rubber cement?
I don't know, I only use what comes with the kit
Thank you bro, God bless you.
Thanks for watching !
Excellent
Thanks !
What about if the nail is almost on the sidewall of the tire. Same process? Thank you
No you're not suppose to fix a puncture on the sidewall of a tire. You should replace it.
Great video
Thanks!
Awsome Idea...
What a great video , love the internal view!
Thanks very much !
What if the air leaks after repairing this puncture? What's the solution shall we put tube
Good brand
Thanks for video. I bought Grand Pitstop, but still have doubts about inserting mashroom with no adhesive... Any comments regardless?
I know what you mean. It does seem strange but most of these kits don't require any sort of adhesive.
That's cool

Very good very nice reaper you are so good trike you my love to see you video bast of luck to you
Thank you so much 😀
What if you use rubber cement (instead of oil) to coat the entire plug? Would you have a permanent fix?
I'm just demonstrating the kit and going by it's instructions. You could be right though :)
The oil is for lubrication. Cement will make it stuck inside kit..
So you get a puncture:
Stop at the roadside.
Take the tyre off (maybe you can do it with the tyre on but that's not demonstrated here) 10min
Remove screw/nail - and let ALL the air out 3min
Roughen hole with tool
Insert mushroom end into device with plastic "nosecone" stuck on end.
Insert gun into hole
Nosecone released into tyre where it will spend it's life rattling around inside, loose, possibly damaging any TPMS sensor you have.
Pump the gun to insert the mushroom cap
Pull up the cap until you "feel it's seated"
Cut off excess.
Now completely refill tyre with air from an air pump you also need to have. 5min
Refit tyre to car. 10min
As opposed to:
Stop at the roadside.
Keep tyre ON (0min) and remove screw/nail
Quickly insert roughening tool so as little air escapes as possible (10sec) and roughen hole with tool
Insert rubber strip into eyelet of tool
Insert tool into hole so about 3/4" rubber still sticking out
Quickly pull tool out (will leave rubber in hole).
Cut off excess.
Now partially refill tyre with air from an air pump you also need to have. (2min)
(No need to refit the tyre as it's already on - so that's 0min)

The fact that a piece falls out and stays in the tire is enough for me to never use this.
