[AT] Sealing a tire to a rim

[charlie hill]

Hi Ralph,

If Rema Tip Top makes it, it is good stuff.  They are the guys that make the
rubber and adheasives used to cover (or lag) drive pulleys on big conveyor
systems in mines, industrial plants, etc.
A friend of mine used to lag pulleys for a living and Rema Tip Top is who he
bought  from.
