The original question: was unclear as what was being patched. The mention of leaking air was sufficient to convince me the question was about patching the tube, especially since patching the side wall of the tire is not recommended. Customer complaint telephone call just now. It seems that we cheating lying *******s sold a woman a Rema patch kit for $2 last summer and then yesterday it utterly failed to seal a vinyl air mattress. That's the way that you evil businessmen are. Always trying to take advantage of a poor defenseless woman. |

If the outer tyre was that bad, I'd just sit the rim in it to eliminate the grinding burrs that would damage the replacement. |

With a tear in the sidewall - its not like it makes much difference. |

That's the way that you evil businessmen are. Always trying to take advantage of a poor defenseless woman. Years ago I was standing in a TV shop and witnessed some little old lady handing over £10 for changing the PP3 battery in a pocket radio. Back then; £10 was a decent wedge. When I serviced TVs & monitors - I never told a customer the tube was gone when it wasn't. I never got rich like the shops - but not a penny of what I made went on advertising. |

I have ordered another thick tube yesterday. Found it on EBay for $11. It would be nice not to have to throw away so much stuff after just one event. Self sealing inner tubes have started turning up on shop shelves - they're not all *THAT* much more expensive, I just CBA trying one. |

I'm 50k from civilization and I split my tire. I use this as a patch to get somewhere that sells tires. |
