I have a tire that I had repaired this week. I ran over something while running the bush hog. The repair was a patch and new inner tube. I now have a 1/2 inch hole where the tire was cut. Is there anything that I can put in the hole to prevent a rock or stick from punching thru. I was thinking of epxoy. Any ideas?

I fill mine with whatever partial caulk tube I have. Seems to hold and I call the price free in that the caulk would go bad sitting in the tube.

Had a tire with a nasty gash in it. Took it to tire dealer/recapper. They put a large boot (patch) inside, and then revulcanized hole from outside. Patch has held several years, have to look for where it was, looks that good. Cost $68. Money well spent.

Go to you auto glass shop and get some windshield urathane, fill the hole.

PS sometimes the glass shop has some urathane left over in the tube and will give it to you.

I use a urathane like stuff called Shoe Goo. Its made to repair or build up the bottom of worn out tennis shoes. Sporting good stores sell it.Almost the same stuff can be found packaged to repair hunting waders and air matreses. Good for all kind of stuff. Another thing that is amazing on rubber is super glue. Super glue and ruber are a match made in heaven but I only used it to glue up big cuts in Super Swamper tires that didn't go all the way thru.

Take it to your tire dealer they can send it out and have it sectioned I had it done on two tires its a small cost about $25 but it make the tire as good as new.

Kieth I can't believe some of the things people are suggesting Shoe-Goo and such. its a small cost to fix a $600 tire the correct way.
Blow out a tube and loose the stuff that you are using for weight will cost more than the fix. Walt

I don't know if you can still get them but at one time they made a tire liner. It covers the in side of the tire and is about 1/4-1/2 inch thick and will pretty much stop any thing other then iron. Other thing you can do is get a tire boot and glue it on. Either way I would at least boot it and if you can find a liner also

Thanks for the advice. It was patched and refilled with water. Maybe I will try the urathane idea.
