Tire-making, episode {I-lost-track} --- making inner-tubes
I'm still going on the tire-making thing. Work has been at a casual pace
since there were problems I had to figure out ways around. -------- Lately I've been looking around for a source of liquid butyl rubber that solidifies at room temp. Local hardware stores carry butyl caulk and tape, but that wouldn't work. The only source I've found in fairly-small amounts is sealant used for industrial construction, in sealing roofs and concrete. I have found sources of other various kinds of rubber but I need to use butyl rubber, as it is less-permeable than latex and also because conventional patching kits would need to adhere to it. Is there any other common sources about? ~ |
