[AT] Tire Repair

[John Wilkens]

Joe, an at-home repair could be made with Devcon 
Flaxane 80 Rubber Putty.  I've successfully used 
it on bad cuts on tractor tires and it does 
well.  It is a two part (like epoxy) mix that 
cures to a medium-hard tough black rubber.  It 
comes with a small can of primer.  Not sure where 
to buy it now, but ITW Devcon is located in 
Danvers, MA.   Good luck!       John W.
