Apply Plug to Fix a Flat Tire

Once you have got the hole reasonably reamed out you take and move it back and forth and again so that you can apply your plug. Now we are back to the rubber plug here again so you put it in the tool used to install the plug into the tire. Some people use like a sealant to put around and dip the plug in and put it in so that it ensures more contact. Now what you want to do is I am going to try and jab this in there and get the plug to go in. Once again it takes a good amount of pressure and once you get it in and due to the fact that the tool is split it will allow you to put this plug inside of the tire and pull it back out with ease and there you have putting the plug into the tire. Then you do want to clean off the surface so you do not have like just a little rubbery lump on the tire. So you can use the razor blade or once again some side cutters or maybe a really sharp knife so you just kind of get this excess material off of the tire so you might want to spray some more water on here to make sure that you do have the tire successfully plugged but that in general is how you plug the tire.
