A tool for patching and repairing tubes

The tool I use is a puncture repair kit.Kits with glue, patches and paper files are common.There are also types that do not use glue, but the traditional method of using glue is the most reliable and long-lasting repair.

Putting air into the tube and identifying the puncture.

In most cases, when you put air into the tube, you hear the sound of the air coming out, so you can find the hole quickly.If the hole is too small to be found, pour water into the bucket and sink the tube.

Choose the patch by looking at the size of the puncture, etc.

After checking the puncture holes, decide which size you want to apply the patch.If there are two puncture holes at a distance, use a larger one. If there is only one puncture hole, use a smaller one.Since large is also small, if you can use small things, it is better to use them after that.

We use sandpaper to vandalize the puncture and lay the groundwork.

Once you find a puncture, you first vandalize the area around the puncture with sandpaper included in the puncture repair kit.After this, I apply a patch with elastic glue to make a base so that the patch sticks firmly.Therefore, I apply sandpaper to the tube larger than the patch.

Apply a thin layer of glue

Apply a thin layer of glue to the puncture area and its surroundings.It is not to close the hole with glue, but to apply a patch, so apply it thinly larger than you plan to apply the patch.But [sighs] I got to show this guy with his heat.When rubberized glue is applied, it becomes difficult to see the position of the hole, so some people mark it with a marker.

Dry glue

After applying a thin layer of glue, leave it for 2-3 minutes and dry.This is actually quite important.Glue after painted will on me what zamani, and took care of a and, Mr. Reese, we to.I feel like I see a lot of people who make this mistake when repairing patches on motorcycles.

patching

Paste the patch to the puncture area.This time there was only one small hole, so I used a small patch.Patch purvey a part it, cellophane, and used patches.Of course, make sure there is a puncture near the center of the patch.

Crimp the patch

Use a tire lever or a plastic hammer to crimp the patch.I think that it is better to be conscious of crimping firmly because the crimping force tends to be weaker than the plastic hammer.

Remove cellophane

Repair is completed when the transparent cellophane is removed.This intruder,,, patches of cellophane off paint by which I find difficult to.Off again to install patches itself peeling off, so off the laser guns won.Difficult to peel off cellophane with are not out, push.

Make sure there's no air leakage.

If there is no air leakage, it is completed.
