Foam Mower Tire Repair, Does it work?? 

Wow we do remember when you did this. Always giving us the best. Thank you for sharing and please keep creating more greatness for us.

This is the best foam video on RU-vid. I have watched them all and this is the best!

I'm very appreciative of your time & effort(s) & sharing. The foam thing did sound plausible but I was still skeptical. You clearly answered my questions. The idea of never having to air up the tires on my garden cart sounded enticing as they seem to require air frequently & this last time of inflating them, I blew the last one up. Now to figure out how I'm going to fix that! Thanks again!

I did this twice on my lawn trailer tires and wasted 2 cans of Great Stuff trying this. The foam never expanded or solidified. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that the product needs MOISTURE to work properly. On my third attempt, I injected about 2 ounces of water into each tire, spun the tires to distribute the water evenly, and then re-injeccted them with Great Stuff. This worked out very well and gave me great results! I have not used the trailer yet, as I'm going to give it 2-3 days to cure completely. The manufacturer was adamant, however, that THIS IS NOT AN APPROVED USE OF THEIR PRODUCT.

I've used foam in a few tires and other projects. You are correct about the foam needing oxygen. If a liquid to solid is in a tire for example, it will not be fully cured.

Damn guess im getting new tires. Thanks for saving me tine and money

Thanks for your video, I was going to fill my tires with foam on my new mower

i almost tried this at the beginning of the year but I have dealt with this foam before and assumed it wouldn't take long for it to break down and crumble. I ended up buying solid rubber/plastic tires. Myself and my wife own 4 acres and cut almost all of it and we had to clear out a bunch of brush with thorns. The solid caster tires I bought for my Exmark Radius E 60" work out alright but I question how well they will hold up. I have used those tires all Summer mowing roughly 3 1/2 acres and they're still good. I have a small chunk taken out of one of them (probably on the several small tree stumps I have scattered here and there) but they're still holding up. They make for a lot rougher ride though. It was fun watching your video! I also have a 2010 Cub Cadet 46" rider that looks just like yours in my garage....that's why I stopped and watched it. Thanks!

I live in Lancaster County, PA. I am sure that an Amish buggy shop could make you a wooden spoked wheel with a steel rim that would NEVER go flat.

I reckon if you fill a tyre tube with expanding foam and air it will plug any punctures when they happen.

I noticed that you made a hole at 3:36 in th video at about 11 o'clock. When you sprayed the foam in you went from 10 o'clock or so at 4:30 in the video to 1 o'clock at 4:37 in the video. You skipped that drilled hole at 3:36. Could it be that there was not enough or no foam at that location that messed the test up ?

I am taking my tires to the tire shop and they said they were gonna send it off to have foam put in, but I wonder if the different type of foam I need something in my rear wheel tires of my zero turn lawnmower to stop punctures, but I don’t know what else to use

Thanks for making the mistake for us so we know what not to do. You are awesome.

Abs glue worked for me for 2 years I didn't have the money to replace my tires. I did both front tires on is leaking again the other one is still sealed

Have you tried (Tite foam) yet if not I'm going to try it it has less expansion but not gaps also kinda soft. I'm guessing it well do the same as the windows and doors but only 1 way to find out.

I think u have to remove the inner tube to get the best foam expansion inside the tire.

In the past I've used abs glue that works for 1 season. Just remember if you try this you will need to get a new rim if you don't have the tools to remove the glue

use loctite foam you can use foam in damaged upholstry after removing wet foam

30 years ago I was Service manager for a landfill in Florida among other equipment we ran 4 10 wheel dump trucks that got flat tires almost daily on the land fill so we started filling the 8 tires on the rear axles with foam worked perfect no more flat tires. My point being you can use foam on large tires.

I have a heavy z turn with foam in the rear where all the weight is, I found out u gotta jack it up when u park it or it will just sit there and go flat on the bottom. using it eventually mashes the foam and u have to add more from time to time. u also need to plug the holes when u add more once it's obvious it's starting to come out. I've seen people on utube that just let all the foam come out and wonder why it didn't last long, might as well save your money to buy new tires if u buy the foam and stand there and let a bunch of it end up on the ground. that way it's also not as dense. this is the 3rd year I've done the foam and all I have to do is add some once in a while and I'm still not up to the point of spending what new tires would have cost, besides, changing the low profile tires is a bitch and I got better things to do. the thing about not plugging the holes so air can get in there, once it starts coming out how much air is getting in there, none, mine has expanded just fine with the holes plugged. I've also tried all the types of foam and not experienced one all that much better than the other, so I just buy a couple of the cheapest ones they have and they last the whole season

How about tunes for the tie instead of slime

Do you think it would work on a yard wagon just hauling limbs or tools

How long did you let the foam cure before running it?

I wonder if you could remove the tire and just put an inch or so of foam on the tread portion of the inside then remount and fill with air. Has anyone tried this or do you have an opinion about this?

Your having way to much fun with the foam. I think your chain saw was into it too. Find your most dry rotted tire and put about 2 cups of latex paint in it,i think you'll be suprized with the results.👍 Oh ,use glossy cause flat won't work🤣

What happens when we mix expanding foams and tyre sealants together on a wooden board to test the chemical reactions first ? What happens if you drill two holes in a tyre which is then leant on a board with the predrilled holes at the very top so we can spray the mixture of expanding foam and tyre sealant on an angle so that the mixture is sprayed one way around the tyre ? and then before we do that we have a predrilled air vent hole just to the other side of the two filling holes so that the expanding foam and tyre sealant has to go all the way around the tyre before it reaches the vent hole (Spray into the tyre through two predrilled filling holes on an angle the opposite way to the predrilled air vent hole that is next to the predrilled filling holes so that the mixture goes one way all around the tyre until it reaches the predrilled air vent hole) (Don't forget to spritz spray water into the tyre first with a water spray bottle so that there is moisture and air to help the expanding foam to cure) I think that might work slightly better Let me know what you think ? Take care and stay safe everybody 🥰

How do you explain that it works for some people?

I think it has trouble drying out.

@5:06 or maybe we just have flat tires 🤷‍♂️

Doesn't it still require air in it?

Trying concrete.

fill it with epoxy next

It's not a fetish with me. I live with a lot of mesquite trees, and constant flats.

I appreciate you failing for me!

"Some sort of fetish" --- if that's it, then the '8 cans guy' needs some an Intervention

Is that a Ass Pro hat ?

Yepperz does not work at all!!!

No no just fix it right put a tube in it! A 8 inch tire is 8 dollars ! don’t be Pennywise and pound foolish, your making band aids that don’t last, out of toxic waste, when are you gonna have time to fix it right is the best question.
