Show Modus Operandi of Tire Repairing Is Outlined A word as to the modus operandi of tire mending may not be out of place. The cut to be plugged or vulcanized must always be thoroughly cleaned In the first place. A cloth soaked In gasoline Is the best medium for cleaning clean-ing the cut If it Is a deep one the cloth muy be used on the end of a acrewdrlver. After the cut and the surrounding area have been thoroughly cleaned and are dry a coat of cement Is applied to the aides and bottom. After this has dried another coat Is put on, and when this baa dried the tire filler Is applied. A bit of the filler is worked Into the cut with the blade of a knife or a acrewdrlver. In case the tire must be used on the road Immediately a small piece of cloth or paper ahould be cemented over the repair to keep dirt from being picked up. No car should go on the road without with-out a complete tire repair outfit, portable port-able vulcanlzer, cement, filler, patches, j etc. These outfits may be had In a ( variety of forms and they will repay their cost times over. |
