Anyone also should know Mitsubishi. That brand name produced many things from pencils to airplanes. Edit: Yes, Mitsubishi pencils and airplanes are unrelated. But I always remembered as a student I often saw Mitsubishi Boxy pens that somehow had the same three diamonds logo like Mitsubishi vehicles. And eventhough they are unrelated, the one Mitsubishi of them is still impressive, that produced many things. From air conditioners, mobile phones, cars, trucks, escalators, LCDs, printers, elevators, aircrafts, missiles, tanks, and many others; under the same company called Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

I used to work at an auto parts store, vulcanizing patches are still sold today for anyone wondering! They're quite a bit different though-- instead of burning them, you adhere them with vulcanizing rubber cement. I believe that they use aromatic hydrocarbons like acetone or something similar, and when they come into contact with the solvent, which contains sulfur, it superheats and essentially melts the two surfaces together with incredible strength. Also, PSA, despite what some forums or online mechanics say, don't drive long-term on a patched tire unless you're desperate or aren't going above 45mph or so. Depending on where the crack is, it can extend into the sidewall or across the tread, either wearing out the tread prematurely or causing constant air leakage. Used car/tire salesmen and shoddy mechanics will say otherwise, but unless you drive like a turtle, you'll save yourself more money in the long run.

Oh! Ok. So are those patches just for inner tubes?? What do you know about those trailer tire patch kits?? Because I've used them dozens and dozens of times(at least 50) to patch car and truck tires of all sizes! Once I remove the nail/screw etc, I remember the angle the nail was on... Then I ream the tire on that same angle! Then I push a patch into the hole. They never would leak after that, but I ALWAYS ALWAYS put in at least one more patch into the hole! Sometimes up to 3 for truck tires that are huge! But usually 2 is plenty... The second patch I leave sticking out a bit more than the first! That way the patch will get smashed while driving and kind of covers the area and protects the patches spot while simultaneously acting as tire rubber that is worn off by driving action! I take a rubber mallet and pound the spot a bit to flatten in all down and into the low spots or troughs of the tire... I know the packaging says there patches are for trailer tires only.... But I've literally done this method at least 40 or 50 times over there past 20 years or so and not once did they patch ever fail whatsoever! Matter off fact, I've many many times driving over of these patched tires so long that they started going bald s bit and no leaks! Just these one time a girl I know that I patched up her tire driver her little car in that true into it was seriously balding lol!!! And that time the psych itself actually wrote down with the tire and they patch was the area that started to slow leak the air!!! But no more than any other store leak situation I've ever seen with a tire! Obviously she should of changed that you're looking better that moment! But it was a good test of my patching method! If trust it's always! Now I liver in Florida where it's hot mostly and moist so I can't say if up north this method would be just the same quality of hold but I inside it would be pretty good up there to! V maybe I wouldn't trust it to where the tire down like that but it certainly would get you out of a jam and you could ride around for quite a while on it before you had to change it just saying 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼😮

Most patches that are used by dealerships pr tire shops and are required by most tire warranties are plug patches. The same idea with the cement and the criteria for patching is what the above user stated. They are meant to be long-term repairs and are applied on the inside of the tire because tire warranties don't replace tires unless the damage is too large or too close to the sidewall. If the tire leaks from the repair, then the warranty will replace the tire. More than one patch is a big no-no in the industry, but people will do it themselves all the time.

Phil, you have solved an old, forgotten mystery. When I was a kid, an older friend showed me his method for repairing bicycle tube punctures. Nowhere in the tube repair kit instructions was there any mention of lighting the patch on fire, yet he insisted that this was the better method. I simply concluded that including the use of fire was a bit of showmanship, on his part. Now, I realize that he must have gotten the idea from his dad, or an uncle, because they learned the process "back in the day" using the method that you demonstrated. We were simply lighting the glue on fire.

Now most tires are tubeless. They get punctured too, just takes a different style repair kit to fix (plugs), or a heavier duty patch on the inside of the tire. You can still find quality tools out there, they're more expensive and most people will buy the cheaper option if available, even if they know it's inferior. We have crappy products because that's what people have voted with their wallets for. It's a depressing trend, I wonder how many modern tools will last as long as the old stuff did, being passed down to children. Crap from Walmart, Harbor Freight, and Amazon will be in a dump long before that. Cheaper stuff sells, and eventually the quality option is no longer available. Even some brands that used to be great have gone downhill. Craftsman used to make good stuff, their old tools from when they were still made in the USA are still worth something used. Now, it's a zombie company, still using the brand's good reputation from the old days to sell Chinese crap today. So many others are the same deal, cant automatically trust what was always regarded as a 'good' brand nowadays.

@@Laz7481 totally agree. Was going to say something similar but last comment was long enough. If you don't care about quality or want to go cheap, go really cheap then. The big selling point for places like harbor freight (bargain tool store) is usually the price, and while they have 'cheap' stuff, you can almost always find the same thing online for way less. Example: made in USA 3/8" ratchet $40, harbor freight $20, Amazon $10, alibaba .99c probably lol. The thing is, the alibaba ratchet is probably comparable to the hf one. If you're going to go the cheap route, then pay the actual cheap prices. I always buy the best i can afford, and cheap stuff has it's place (one time use, spares, loaners, etc.) but some crap isn't even good enough for that. China has gotten great at disguising crap as decently built. Fit/finish, ergonomics, etc is ok. It's all the stuff you cant see that's the problem. Machining, fitment, strength, metallurgy, plastic/rubber that degrades quickly or melts in contact with oil/grease/UV. You look at something in the store and say "what could be wrong with this?", but then it wears out or breaks prematurely. Ugh. I'm too poor to buy cheap tools. With quality tools, in a pinch, I can always sell them used. Who tf would buy used crap stuff?

My dad collects all kinds of those antique rubber tire patch kits. The Camel ones were pretty prevalent. Some of them still have the patches in it like the one you have there, but for a lot of them it's just the tin. It reminds him of growing up on the farm and when my grandpa used to use them to patch the tractor tires. I never knew you lit them like that to vulcanize the rubber and seal it though, pretty cool!

Hey, this is fun, for a couple of weeks I worked in a workshop giving truck tires a second life. We removed stones and things that got into the tire surface. The rubber must be clean, of course. And later I worked in a chemical factory, we produced some chemical meant for tire producers, it was stuff to get rubber more flexible.

I grew up ranching on about 10,000 acres. Back in the 70’s and 80’s, tires often had tubes on pickups. We used these to patch the tubes. On tub-less tires we would grind the area damaged lightly and then put a plug in the tire then clean and prime the spot to use the vulcanization patch. It always worked.

Those patch kits were still around in 1959. I remember my dad patching his car tire inner tubes with those type of patches and it also had a clamp after you burnt the patch you placed the patch on the hole and then you clamped it down, so it adhered to the rubber.

I used these when I was a kid. I had no idea that my dad’s junky appliance shop was such a great laboratory for a kid. My first job out of grad school, our business got 2 commercial gas ranges. I simply connected them & leak tested them. They had a huge boiler/chiller heat and ac. One of the first people I met was the custodian, who showed me all the systems. He was so much like my dad, & we had lunch every week. I got to use his acetylene torch & woodworking shop.

My dad had a full service- service station garage for almost 50 years. Rarely did we plug a tire, only by request, not guaranteed, towards the end of his career, we used cold vulcanizing patches, never came back. But early on, there was the "hot patches", which were retired for the cold patch era. In 30+ years of my time there, I must have repaired thousands of tires.

Tire stores wouldn't be on every corner if we still did things like this. Our modern convenience was set up to last a long long life time, in the 70s things started changing..... U can literally still use a mixer from the 60s it actually works, people used to repair all appliances mostly at home or called a repair man . U used to only but things once and it was passed down after u passed away . Fridge from the 50s still in the garage running, a deep freeze from 62' still holding our meats ...... imagine buying a hair dryer you'll pass down to your granddaughter! I remember a toaster my grandmother had and my cousin still has it 45 yrs later! What!!? A pressure cooker from 70s still has its handle and cleanable. Things were made to last and land fills didn't grow so fast
