    The hole is much bigger than just from the original nail or screw. Not only that. This is inside view of tire after the string plug was placed.

    If you will grind the inside surface of the hole for patch repair. You should remove the blob. And if you remove the blob, masama rin yun little plug in the hole, or ma detached easily. When glenn_duke was describing about patching after plugging days ago. I imagined the string plug as extended straight and the tyre much thicker, so kala ko ma retain the plug after inner surface grind. Pero realized hindi puwede yesterday.

    If you leave the hole open, it's much larger than from the nail when you do any patch as first attempt without any plug. Much mabilis ma rust belt with open hole.

    Therefore hindi feasible yun patching it after removing the plug. Hence I'm repeating the plug, just tell me saan exactly vulcanizing shop with complete plug kit and procedure used. Remember sa akin they didnt use reamer to roughten the inside hole and didn't use rubber cement but instead oil.

    This is complete and right procedure to do a string plug, reamer must be used and rubber cement

    I owned the car for 6 years already, the tyres original and not yet replaced.

    Wala mabili na mushroom patch dito. I checked at lazada last night and it will take a week or more from china to arrive. I need to use the car before one week. Unless Syuryuken can share a piece of them here since the minimum you can buy is 20 pieces? Also hope you can tell me Syuyuken, saan exactly na Yokohama center pina install mo mushroom patch so doon ko rin pagawa. Mahirap yun pa try mo sa any vulganizing shop for first time. Kasi you still need to put sealant around the mushroom flat head after putting the rubber cement, and pulled the mushroom stem from the outside, too much force ma tear. Too little hindi maka contact. Dapat yun expert na kabit dyan.
    if you must use the car, and you fear for your safety using that pasak'd tyre,
    replace your pasak'd tyre with your spare tyre.
    use your pasak'd tyre as your spare tyre, in the meantime.
    you may have that pasak'd tyre patched up with cold patch or other method, at your leisure, if you wish.
    or, if you fear for your safety, even if that tyre has already been 'repaired', then just purcha$e a new tyre. hey! it's six years old, if you believe that.

    over the years,
    i have experienced flat tyre in so many ways.
    alambre, pakong bakya, screwdriver shaft (no handle), one peso coin (the tear was so long, tyre folks thought it was dangerous to repair), and even a stationary lamp post's sharp metal base (ripped my tyre to shreds).

    while i did once have a pasak repair from a branded establishment (it leaked still!), none of my cold patch repairs have ever failed.
    i have tried several shops, from fully-manual lean-to jobs in the nearby province, to fully-powered brand-name establishments in the big city.

    good luck, sir.
