Recommended Repair Procedures
Minor cuts which occur between the lugs can be repaired
with a suitable repair kit. Cuts no longer than 30mm and no
deeper than 10mm do not need to be repaired. Cuts
beyond these dimensions should be repaired as detailed.
Note, if steel is evident (irrespective of cut size), then a
repair should be completed to prevent oxidation (rusting)
and subsequent long term damage.
Specialist rubber compounds for cold vulcanisation can be
purchased from various outlets. The procedures below
describe typical good practice repair procedures. Always
check the manufacturer's instructions.
1 Clean the cut thoroughly to ensure correct adhesion
of the bonding agents. Use a brush or compressed
air. If oil is evident, a cleaning solution should be
used, make sure the area is dry.
Fig 1.
2 The area in and around the cut should be 'roughened'
to ensure good bonding adhesion. Use sand paper or
a clean wire brush. Make sure that the area is
roughened approximately 30 to 40 mm wider than the
cut. Clean the area using a suitable air compressor.

3 Apply the adhesive.
Fig 3.
4 Mix the rubber compound. Note, the repair rubber is
usually supplied as two separate compounds which
are mixed together in equal quantities. Follow the
manufacturers instructions.
