It was 30 below, and the wife apparantly ran through some screws, getting 2 flats on her pickup.
I didn't have the option of leaveing the tires inside long enough to warm up before patching them.
A few years ago our lovely powers to be outlawed tire patch glue that you lit and let burn to make it stick. In other words the stuff that works has been outlawed and is no longer attainable.
The replacement is the pits at best, you are suppose to put a very light coat and wait a minute or two before putting the patch on.
First try didn't even attempt to work, I think you could wait a week at 30 below and it still would not get sticky.
Try two, I sprayed some either on the tire and let it burn in an attempt to warm it up, absolute fqail again, just not happening.
Try three, I smeared the glue and then sprayed it with either and lit it till it burned off. SUCCESS at last.
Now this I learned and learned quick, this new safe glue puts off a noxious gas while and after you burn it, getting a whiff of it will literally put you on your knees, which at least get your head out of the tire into fresh air. lol I have no doubt if a guy somehow breathed more than one breath of this gas, he would be in serious trouble.
