[AT] Sealing a tire to a rim

[Ralph Goff]

I can only remember one instance of having to use a rim sealer product on a
tire. It was a small Massey riding mower. The local tire/repair shop brushed
on some black liquid, tar-like product all around the sealing area where the
tire contacted the rim. As I recall it was a successful repair but I don't
have the mower any more. The product may have been made by this company
