Default This might get you out of a jam.

I bought a cheap quad for hunting. To make a long story short it needs new front tires. I ordered the tires but they still have not come in yet. One tire has about a 1/2 inch slice in it. It will not hold air at all. I wanted to ride it so bad i tried a can of fix a flat with no luck.

I was at the range today thinking how i could fix this tire in between shots. In my range box was a can of super glue. Why??? I really have no clue. When i got home i cleaned the tire pretty good. I then opened the slice in the tire as much as i could and poured super glue in it. After that i put super glue in a 1 inch circle around the slice in the tire and applied a piece of Duck tape to it. I then waited about 15 minutes and filled the tire up with fix a flat. That tire has been holding air now for 7 hours with no leaks.

The great news is i was able to ride this quad for a couple hours and start getting it ready for hunting season. The rims are pretty bad as well. New tires and wheels will be here next week.

Super Glue and Duck tape might just need to go under the seat from now on.

BTW- Before i forget, three or four of you guys i and others already no your replies. Impossible, your full of ****, cant happen, your promoting quad tires now etc. No need to post that because we already know this is just impossible to do.
