He did NOT just put that thing in his mouth!?

[Guest jackdm3]

Had a nail in my tire. Went to the handy 'net to learn how to use tire plug kits and found this one. Maybe the prob is he's from Canada.

YouTube - how to plug a leaking car tire

[gregintenn]

I never knew you had to put the plug in your mouth. I've been doing it wrong all these years. Is this the Red Green Show?

[Patton]

I like how he also droped the screw on the ground instead of throwing it away so that he wouldn't find it in his tire again.

[kb4ns]

Wow. Things sure work different up there in America's Hat. I've been doing it wrong for years, too...

[Guest BEARMAN]

He could have accomplished the same thing...using a pair of pliers and a wee bit of spit on the finger.

Silly Canucks...he should have been teaching the beef jerky eating class!...

[dats82]

He sure is a fan of the mini-van.

I've watched a couple other of that guy's videos before.. It's a good thing he doesn't work on other peoples' cars.

[Mike.357]

did you seriously need a video to plug a tire?

[Guest 70below]

I watched a guy put Vaseline on his tire plug once to make it easier to go in......I just stood back grinning and watched the process. I ended up in near "hee-haw" laughing as the plug kept blowing back out, and he couldn't get the hole cleaned up enough to keep them from coming out....

[Guest Catdaddy]

The hot tip is to coat the plug with rubber cement. It will go in easily, and seal much better. Just give it a few minutes to bond. Then trim off with a sharp razor blade and top off the pressure.

[Mike.357]

I just take a lighter and heat the plug a bit, shove it in and get down the road.

Hell's, yeah! The instructions were minimal on the package and I looked elsewhere. At 39, I've never had to do it. Is that a blessing or a curse?

[gregintenn]

I've seen people put rubber cement on the plug and light it with a lighter. I've never been able to learn what that accomplishes.

oops, this was supposed to be in the Marisa Tomei thread, heh

wow, how did you get that old and not plug a tire. I have no recollection really of how I learned. But I keep them handy. Both in my truck and in the garage. One of the quad tires has about 10 plugs. About 6 of them in one hole. But it works

The dynaplug? Seriously? Who, besides Jack of course, can't use a regular plug in 60 seconds or less???

[Guest jackdm3]

Your first time, were you done in less than 60 seconds?

[kb4ns]

Your first time, were you done in less than 60 seconds?

Hell, less than 10. Oh wait, you were talking about tire plugs?

[Guest jackdm3]

Zing!

[kb4ns]

The first time I used a tire plug it took me about a minute. Of course, I had seen many other people do it before that.

[Guest jackdm3]

So you saw "many" other people do it first, kinda like watching a few people on the 'net do it first, as I did ... this is so NOT going the way I thought it would ... nevermind.

Tire's fixed.

[kb4ns]

Tire's fixed.

Thank goodness. I didn't like where this was headed...

I have a shop in bartlett that takes care of my tires free of charge. I don't plug my own tires for that reason.

I am curious if you had to watch someone make the beast with two backs to know what to do when opportunity arose

fixin' tires ought to come natural to men
