|  Patching tire holes after grooving.
What did you guys use to patch holes in your tires after you are done grooving them? I meant to save some left over rubber but forgot. I was thinking of using liquid electrical tape. Christian

Holes after grooving? Cut too deep, eh? Innertube for a bicycle works to patch...or maybe an innertube patch kit. |

I used the waterbed patch kit...I had it anyway, and it works good.

Rubberized CA glue works great for me.

I just fired up my soldering iron and melted bits of tire in the hole but you could try http://www.hobbyetc.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?part_id=1400 tire glue: Hobby Etcetera BSI11700 Tire glue .5 oz 20-45 seconds $4.99 Rubber enhanced cyanoacrylate glue. Great for rubber tires, or other joints where a little flex is required. Dries in about 20 to 45 seconds. Made in the USA. When calling or writing, ask for BSI11700 |

I used regular old black rtv silicone. The kind you can get at any auto parts store...probably hardward stores too. nothing special...no special grade. Since I had a few sets of tires around, I did some experimenting. I made a hole no matter how hard I tried not to...so some tires I patched the whole completely over...others I patched most of the hole, and left a small pin hole for that air could escape and make the tires alittle softer. As stated above... If you leave a gaping hole...i think they are too soft. But you can limit the hole size a bit to control the outgoing air. Just a thought...and a combination of the above ideas. I romped on mine pretty good and I havent had the RTV give out yet. In fact...I ripped a hole in a non-rtv area where it was thin from cutting...but the RTV areas stayed perfect. Justin |

 I sprayed mine with some WD40 before I cut mine. It got them pretty soft before I cut them......Yes I cut two tiny little holes in the first one | |
