Guys be sure and stick around till the end...i stumbled all over this one..good out takes

@calvint9356 4 года назад

Sometimes it takes a few hours to fill out completely and get firm. Not sure with it being INSIDE a tire though.

@jackalley6451 2 года назад

DOES NOT WORK

@daveharner1 11 месяцев назад

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! The manufacturer was adamant, however, that THIS IS NOT AN APPROVED USE OF THEIR PRODUCT.

@BryanRoupe 3 месяца назад

I will have to give the water a try. I just tried to fill the kids go cart tires and it didn't expand and cure. It's about a 13 or 14 inch tire and I used the entire can, throw the valve stem. How much did you use?

@edisom1804 5 лет назад

It does work I’ve done it You need to put a hole in the very top of the tire to let all the air out and let all the spray foam get in there and expand and let the air out you do that and it will work

@OxAO 5 лет назад

Then let dry for +24 hours

@califisher 4 года назад

@ericgustin3386 4 года назад

The foam they were using was fine. Buuuut the foam needs moisture to cure. You have to spray a teeny splash of water inside before you put the foam in.

@LnSntl 4 года назад

If you put holes in the tire, at the tread, it will allow the air that remains in the tire to escape, thus filling the tire fully with foam. What you have is a tire that has both air and foam and that is why you had problems. Then you needed to allow the foam to fully cure before hopping in the wheelbarrow. Good luck with it.

@valvalvalvalval17 Год назад

My thoughts exactly

@leonard5606 5 лет назад

In the old days the valve caps on tires were metal and the top part was used to remove the valve stem. Pretty slick you didn't need to carry around any special tools to remove the stem and you could flatten someones tire rather easy.......lol cheers from RDU area :)

Had a tag along in our car club that was a tire and oil monkey. Young guy and hey, we all have to start somewhere 💯 He hated fix-a-flat because of cleaning it and it screwing up the balance. But in this case, why not in a pinch😅

@maddmaxx6730 5 лет назад

I did this on the front tire of my zero turn mower, works like a charm.

@dcc1906 5 лет назад

Used 1 & 1/2 cans, waited 24 hours and tire was still flat. Bought a solid tire and went to throw the old one out. 48 hours later the foam worked! Now I have 2 solid filled tires.

@shadyhill60 5 лет назад

Give the foam time to cure and harden.

@stellaashworth5415 3 месяца назад

The right way to do this is to drill 4 holes in the sidewall of the tire.use a drill bit that is a snug fit for the filler straw.fill one hole until you see foam starting to come out of the holes on either side of it.put a tire plug in the filler hole.then top off the other 2 holes until you start to see foam coming out of the forth hole.put tire plugs in the other 2 holes.then top off the forth hole and leave it open as a vent for the expanding foam.you will not have any air trapped in the tire using this method.

@CapeAnnImages 5 лет назад

Forget putting the valve back in and just use the cap. And that foam takes about 24 hours for it to fully expand! Did that with a tire on my boat trailer about 10 years ago and it still is fine!

@ronmower1785 3 месяца назад

Mostly, here in Washington State, ( it sounds like we both live by the same rules of developing land) the reason why you must have permits and inspections to see that all work was done right and to code is because you also have the right to sell your property at any time ( it doesn't matter if you claim you'll never sell it, you could). So these rules and regulations are there to protect a buyer if you sell it. That's how they win the argument here. Good luck !

@firstname5134 5 лет назад

Think you are supposed to drill holes in the tire and fill in all the holes it also helps the foam expand..that's what I did for my lawn mower trailer

@mattphillips1910 5 лет назад

Great video! A little humor is good for the soul. And the blooper reel is always a treat. I've got about 47,000 flat tires in and around my barn and shop. Annoying! I'm going to try renditions of what you did there. I actually think that could work with a little more trial and error.

@rodneyflynn3259 5 лет назад

You needed a relief hole! Spread a little, spin the wheel, spray mower, spin the wheel, spray mower spin the wheel, I'm pretty sure you know what I mean! But you seem like a very great hearted man! Good luck on your next try. And thanks for the video

@dcc1906 5 лет назад

It works! After 1 day tire was still soft. After 4 days enough foam escaped to fill 4 tires. 1week later tire was completely solid. I had to cut away all the escaped foam.

@markd6123 Год назад

Drill several holes to allow drying time ,a few days of drying time. Get err done !

@petermavus4131 5 лет назад

@joerowland607 5 лет назад

I have done what you are doing Josh you must drill holes in the tire. You must use a hard compound foam or your tire will get soft after a period of use.

@bobbg9041 3 года назад

It works, you can by tires that have been done this way also side note you need to hold the can upside down wile filling to get more foam and less gas out of the can!

@ryanrummel9787 Год назад

I used to work for a company that would foam fill mining tires. They would drill a screw into the tread so the air could escape and the foam would push out all of the air. It would be 100% foam filled. Then they would sit overnight to harden and they were completely solid the next day. The only problem with them is that they were heavy as hell.

On off rode equipment they foam those tires but they use explainable foam and drill holes around the tread to get rid of all the air inside. It works very well.

I green slimed mine year's ago and I haven't had a flat in years about every 6mo I had a little air there's 2 kinds make sure you get the right one

@grumpycat_1 4 года назад

Drilling a hole in the "top" (on the tread) of the tire gives the air being displaced a way to get out. Also spraying the inside with a mist of water from a spray bottle is highly recommended These types of foam are "moisture cure" and use atmospheric moisture to cure. They will not cure (or will cure very slowly) in a sealed environment with little moisture... They will not cure at all in a sealed container devoid of moisture Doing those two things will absolutely work... I have done it many many times. and the resulting "flat free" tires last years.

@countrylifewitherin 5 лет назад

@urbanitesgarage3299 5 лет назад

It works you just drill a couple holes to let the air out and in for it to cure, I just did it a week ago on my lawn tractor big wheel and a sulky wheel

@charlesbracco7890 Месяц назад

You don't need a big hole in the tire to let air in. Also it doesn't set up after an hour. You need to let it sit at least 10 hrs to set up. What i do is take the value stem out put the foam in and just put the cap back on. After some use you may have to add more foam. Just take the cap off drill the foam out of the stem and put the cap back on.

@donaldbarrett2267 4 года назад

I think that even if you let the foam dry over night it might be slightly better but over time it would probably crush down. The Flex-seal might work but a new tire and wheel from Harbour Freight would be cheaper and easier. If the wheel comes apart, you could disassemble it clean up the wheel and paint it heavily on the inside and outside then check the tire for leaks by filling it up with air and spraying the outside with soapy water. then fix the tire or put in an inner-tube. I would love to see if the flex-seal would work.

Most people say foam filled tire but think about this if you foam filled a tire it would always have flat spots at every point it's sits for awhile. Hard tires are latex filled this is a rubber fill and you can run it until the rubber is gone but it adds weight to the tire. Always latex tires nerve foam fill.

Try adding more foam. Also lay the tire on it's side. Allow the foam to cure before applying weight.

It seemed to be low; but only on the bottom part of the wheel. I like your t-shirt. I once had a '76 Ford 4x4 Custom (five bolts per wheel). My pickup had round sealed beams. Your pickup has rectangle. Well manufactured vehicles nonetheless.

They drill holes in the side because the foam needs air in order to dry. It definitely works if done correctly.

Large farm tractor tires used oil in them. But when putting in the oil, there has to be an outlet for the air to come out so that the oil can go in! But you did great, LOL

@michaelphelan106 5 лет назад

rodney flynn Most large farm tires are water filled, you can buy an adapter that goes from male hose thread to valve stem thread and has an air vent on it. Turn tire so valve stem is at top and start water, air will exhaust.

@BillTheTractorMan 5 лет назад

We used the stuff you mix in a 5gallon pale and broke the bead on one side of the tire. Poured the tire like 3/8 to half full and set the bead with the air compressor. Just to be sure it didnt explode we had the valve core out ahead of time. We did it to a hay rake and lawn mower tire.

@michaelweston6083 5 лет назад

You need to put a hole on the other end so the air can escape otherwise it won't allow the foam to fill it. I did it on a quad once since we couldn't get a replacement in time and we were going that weekend.

I did this to my tire, over 15 years ago. It isn't flat, and I have been using it for lots of things around the home. I did have to poke holes in the sidewalls. The foam didn't fill the tire on the first try. That is why I had to poke holes in the sidewalls.. But I haven't had to put air in a flat tire for the 15 plus years...

@erickirklin2962 Год назад

The spray foam will only work with the holes in the sidewall of the tire for a short time. The foam will compress over time and now you have a flat ruined tire. Putting it in through the stem and adding a little air will seal up leak, We are at 4 years now and still no leaks. However the bearings are shot!

I think next time I'll drill out the tire in a few spots and use your method then bet the wife she cant get a flat again.

Without moisture, the foam will nit solidify. Spray a little splash of water in it before you put the foam in it. No spinning required. Also, the existing ait needs a way to escape. Drill one small hole in the side of the tire away from the nozzle and theair will escape just fine.

@salvatorecampisi1835 5 лет назад

After watching your video I tried it myself and found that you made some mistakes. First you tried to reinstall the valve stem, which definitely didn’t work. I am went with 2 cans of foam and rather than installing the valve stem, went with the valve cap. I shook both cans, sprayed the first can, put my thumb over the valve while I got the second can. Sprayed it in and installed the cap. All this was done in the morning before I went to work. It sat all day outside in the sun and when I got home, aside from a little foam that leaked out I had a solid tire. I did however let little water trickle into the valve stem before I started. So, I found that adding spray foam into the tire does work.
