It might even have worked...............................

Everyone knows that Holts Tyreweld is completely useless - but what if it
has some solids in it to bung up the hole?

Just for kicks, I made up a Schrader adapter for a 600g dry powder fire
extinguisher

It won't go in unless you take the valve core out, so you can't actually
inflate the tyre with it, but I got most of the powder into the tyre.

Unfortunately it was a split in the sidewall - too big a hole for even that
to block up.

Still - proof of concept has passed the first test, it would certainly bung
up a normal puncture, mixed with Tyreweld.

The tyre is obviously scrap, so I cut the inner tube out so it didn't wrap
round the axle, and finished my journey. The RTV treated front tyre hasn't
been any trouble, so I might do that again.

AFAIK: some fire extinguisher dry powders react chemically and evolve carbon
dioxide - RTV gives off acetic acid; so mixing those two tricks could burst
the tyre!

For your next trick, miniaturize the release valve from a pressure
cooker and weld it to the side of a valve stem.

Pity the pressure-cooker valve works by gravity pushing a plug into a
hole, and putting right back in as soon as the pressure drops to an
acceptable level. But one might work something out with a
carefully-calibrated spring.

file a uh 12 penny (?) nail fit the adapter. Screwing the adapter on forces nail onto Schrader release point.
