Patching tube with silicone
Many years ago I had success mounting tubless tires and even patching them with rtv silicone, patching even worked better than with rubber cement. That is a less flexible and lower pressure application than bicycle tube. Does it work with bicycle tubes vs. the traditional rubber cement or are there problems there? -- meb |

Patching tube with silicone
super glue non-flowing works
GOOP the modern silicone lacks holding power-but inflating against the inside tire would hold various non-rubbber contact cements in place-problem is getting there!! NAPA has a rubber contact cement for $8 which is a winner but perishable in hot climes-need refrigeration walmart in our area displays a glue section holding a loctite rubber cement-i have a can but haven't tested it. the walglue display also has a double cylinder epoxy dispenser-there are 3-4 types. Look carefully and you may spy one boasting rubber capability. this is the commonly available killer rubber cement. is it good on tubes or better than super g or the usual rubber cements FOR tubes? i dunno. the stuff does have the capability to reglue wal''s silver series sneakers soles and uppers after sanding clean, clamping with shoe shape ply inside and out held with a deep reach clamp: shoewise, this is akin to the second(or third "for that matter") coming ! the double cylinder "insures" precise disgorgement but dpon't cpunt opn it and carefully examine and clear nozzles before screwing everthing up right quick. the mix need to be wet on application not gummy and setting as the wet holds the bite into the material solvents.store upside down and vertical. |

Patching tube with silicone
i tried the locktite contact rubber cement-not in the same league as
standard BELL cement with the new fangled cap. the locktite is more toward gluing paper flowers to wallboard |

Patching tube with silicone
this is an unfair review of locktite contact cement. as i am already in
deep excrement with lock-i did not follow the directions as coat both surfaces and did not use the uncoated patch side using, without thought about it, the coated Bell cement specific side-if this matters. i'll try it again. |
