126.0. "Happy or ....Burst" by COMICS::MILLAR (No Porn please I'm Graphic) Wed Mar 22 1989 14:20

    Hi there,
             Serious problem here.. Does anybody know a good place to
    get puncture's repaired in the Blazingsmoke area ?? I have some
    rubber equipment that I purchased second hand from the Comms group
    here, and it is leeking quiet badly. Having noted the excellent
    response to SECOND HAND HAMMERS I figured that this is the correct
    place to ask.
    
    BM.
    
    PS. Comms inform me that black shadow patches are the one's to use..

    Go to halfords and buy the stuff in the aerosol that you put in
    car tyres.  It goes rock hard and you can ride on it for
    miles..........

    Thankyou Suzanne,
                      The stuff in the can worked a treat.. for a few
    seconds. There was a "bang" and the whole lot deflated again. I
    guess I'll just have to keep trying...

126.7Not a good ideaHEWIE::BRUNNOCKTry switching it on ...Tue Mar 28 1989 10:0010
The stuff in the aerosol is for temporarily (sp?) repairing a puncture
until you can get to a garage. Do NOT use it for normal driving and
you should not exceed 30 or 40 mph with a tyre containing the foam.

I think it says all of this on the can but just in case anyone
gets the wrong idea about it. The foam is extremely handy if you run over
a load of nails in the street and get more than one tyre punctured. Saves
you walking to a garage and getting a tow truck.

The warning applies no matter what rubber appliances it is used with. Windy
Wendy MUST stay below 30 to 40 mph (with tail wind of course) and must not
be driven hard.
