I've got a very slow leak caused by a tiny shoe tack. Which is advisable to do i this case ? The "tusok" method or the cold patch method (requires dismounting the tire from the wheel) ?
Wouldn't the "tusok" method make the hole larger? The hole is almost like just a pin prick .

June 14th, 2006 04:05 PM #2may malalagot na steel thread inside your rubber tire kapag "tusok" method which will cause "bukol" naman.

June 14th, 2006 05:10 PM #3Always use the cold patch method. Pag di pwede cold patch, time to get new tires. Don't ever use the "tusok" or "vulcanize (heated)" method. It will only ruin your tires.

June 14th, 2006 07:46 PM #5based on experience, better ang cold patch. yung tusok, minsan di perfect yung seal, at pag napudpod na ulit yung gulong, lumalabas yung tinusok nilang parang thread material na may adhesive. cold patch nasa loob lang at di na-e-expose sa labas. the internal pressure of the tire also helps in ensuring proper seal. hth ;)

June 15th, 2006 12:41 PM #9Tusok then patch
tusok - seal to prevent corrosion on steel belts then
patch - to prevent air leaking between layers.

June 15th, 2006 03:38 PM #11Pina cold patch ko na kanina pero bumubula pa rin!
It seems there's an alternate route for the air to leak out. Could it be it's leaking between the layers?

June 16th, 2006 01:56 AM #12Possibly. Anong part ng gulong yung butas? San mo pinagawa? Kung sidewall, I would suggest to replace the tire, but that's just me. Originally Posted by Psylocke

Sa tread ang butas, sa gitna malayo sa sidewall.
Dalawang beses nga namin nilagyan ng cold patch ganun pa rin.
Ibabalik ko mamaya, subukan ko tusok method + cold patch combination.

July 24th, 2006 06:30 PM #14mga dre, tanong lang. ano ba mas maganda yung cold patch o yung niluluto? last week dalawang beses ako nagpavulcanize on separate wheels. yung sa likod, cold patch and ginawa. tapos kahapon, nabutas naman ang isa ko pang gulong tapos sa ibang vulcanizing shop ako pumunta. niluto naman nila ang pagkavulcanize. ano ba mas maganda or should i say mas tama.
Aside from yung hindi tinatanggal sa mags yung gulong at tinutusukan lang ng pang-repair

July 24th, 2006 07:37 PM #15saksak bunot-cold patch- no hot patch for me, expect if the first two options is not available. IMO hot patches deforms the steel belts of your tires.

July 25th, 2006 12:16 PM #18nabasa ko na itong thread na ito before making a new thread. made a new thread because im not entirely sure what "tusok" means. and alam ko lang is either hot patch or cold patch... so decided to make a new one... title kasi ng previous thread was tusok or cold patch.

July 25th, 2006 08:55 PM #19cold patch all the way. if you have a SUV or have them 4WD tires its ok to use the tusok system. i mean the tires are strong enough to the seal that goes with the tusok system. if u only have 4 ply or six ply tires i dnt think its a good idea to use the tusok system, as for the hot patch system, never use it. unless ur tires are really old. and you want to replace them in less than 3 months.i wasted 4 tires a while back because i didnt know about the cold patch system.if you have seen what the hot patch does to the rubber tubes in non tubeless tires then expect to see your tires deformed too.
