Default Re: Slow leak

Are the vulcanizing kits still available?


I remember my father having a kit with a bracket/press. The cover of the kit was serrated and was used to roughen the tube and the provided patch. The patch was placed into the press, and patch/tube pressed together. Then a match was used to light it. I assume the patch was covered with something like gun powder or something similar. The patch/tube were then fused together.
