CANADA GUYS:
Just a heads up the 3M PR40 can be hard to find/expensive in Canada. Any of the 3M PR series glues work just fine and one maybe easier/cheaper to come by(pr40, pr100, pr600, pr1500). The only difference in those glues is the thickness. So with the PR1500 it's more gel like vs water so you will need to make sure to squeeze out the excess.

Thoughts:
Total cost to repair was around 0.50cents of glue. $15 for entire bottle that'll do 30-40 of these large repairs. You can buy a kit(linked above) but I do not know if they have cord reinforced patch material(I don't have anything to do with the company that makes it). I tried for hours to tear this patch off while playing around. I even dropped the pressure from 6.5psi to around 5 to really flex the sidewall and have more contact. I hit rocks, ledges, drove through ice halfway up the rim and high speed turns and nothing harmed it. I inflated it to 30psi before installing just to see if I could stretch/pull the patch off; nope. This is on there permanently and you will destroy the tire before it ever comes off. You could also put a patch on the inside was well or even a typical rubber patch just to make sure air didn't push but I don't think that is necessary. I do think a product like Tire-Ject that I did a video on would be an excellent addition to make these tires bullet proof.

During WW2, tire rationing meant we had to repair holes. We used "blowout patches" put on the inside with rubber cement and the tube, when pressurized, held the patch against the inside tire wall. When the tire became bald, we regrooved the contact surface. Also, we recapped the tread using heat. I remember the vulcanizing. The tube patches were sometimes vulcanized. The tube patch had a metal dish with a sulfur material held down on the tube with a jig. A match lit the sulfur and the heat melted the patch into the tube. The glue you showed would have been a miracle back then. Also, we took the tire off the rim without removing the wheel. After military service, I came back and worked for The Armstrong Rubber Co. that made All-State tires, too. Tire building from start to finish was very interesting. Loved this You Tube video.

Finally somebody who: 1. knows what he's talking about & 2. can articulate what's the whole story about! Thank you!

Few people are half as handy, skilled and smart as this guy. You can't just buy this kind of intelligence! I'd suggest taking notes. I definitely am!

I remember when radial tires came out and that it meant that the reinforcement cords formed radii all the way around the tire, but it never occurred to me what bias ply meant until your explanation. The cords are on the "bias" which means they're at a 90 degree angle to each other and then at a 45 to the radius of the tire. Thanks again for the education. Nice job.

Bro! What? This was straight up genius. Never heard of this glue. As an avid mountain biker running tubeless tires this seems like amazing stuff to keep in my emergency kit for repairs to sidewalls. Please do more videos on this glue. Thanks!
-
Project farm needs to add this to his tire patch test video! Love the video and adding it to the list of things you've recommended!
-
Hands down… this is the best, no nonsense, well explained tire repair video on YouTube. Thanks for taking the time.
-
This is a good video! It shows how to fix even a sidewall puncture. If you want to cut out pieces of old tires and get a $15 bottle of 20 grams of adhesive. Also, that 3M product will be my new shoe repair glue.
-
Gotta say you provide some of the best information in a simple, straight forward manner. Thanks.
-
Pretty slick fix I can imagine this would be a handy repair for rock crawlers they will love this!!
-
The more I watch your channel the more impressed I am by your adaptability and knowledge. That glue looks perfect to repair some torn door weather-stripping I have on a classic car I appreciate the videos thanks!
-
Wow that glue is impressive. Great fix. Yeah that would be ashamed to throw away such a good treaded tire.
-
Finally! After 100 years they made a great rubber glue? Awesome! Thanks so much for this Well Explained video. Much love Bro! The Doctor is definitely IN !
-
Can’t wait till you do YouTube full time. I’m always excited when you post a video.
-
3m needs to pay you for this one! I just bought a bottle and now my offroad kit is complete thanks
-
I am SO GLAD I didnt call you an idiot for trying to patch a sidewall BEFORE I watched this video...THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME SMARTER!
-
Wow the glue is almost invincible I'm very impressed with the bond it makes with the rubber and also nice job patching the tire from the little trail ride you took us on the tire is holding up extremely well thanks for the video.

When I am out off-roading with my he-man buddies and rip my sidewall. When they ask what I am doing, I will reply " I'm sewing, you got a problem with that?". This almost needs to be a kit you keep on the side-by in case of rock destruction. Anybody who has been doing serious off-road knows all about this. Thanks for the post.
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to patch the tire from the inside so once it's aired up the inner pressure is pushing the patch in place,also you don't have to worry about a rock or some other object tearing the patch off
-
Great video thanks for doing it. I am adding this to my kit. I laughed when right after you said you didnt throw the stick in the puddle because you would have to ride home with a muddy puppy and she promptly runs through the puddle on the next throw 😄
