[AT] Patching Rear Tire on Tractor?

[charlie hill]

No Roy just a handful.  Not much more than you would put on a baby's butt. 
That white powder on a new inner tube is talc.  When my dad owned a service 
station in the 50's he always put some talk or baby powder (talc with 
perfume in it) in tires.
