At present, there are 3 ways to reconfigure the tire: silk thrust, hot steam and cold steam. Each of which has different advantages and disadvantages as follows.
1. To recap a silk thread.
Silkworm recap is a perfect temporary reconfiguration to allow you to reach your destination or recap shop safely. It is mostly used for motorcycles. Because the equipment is easy to find (Most are sold as a ready-made kit with complete equipment) can be made by yourself. It doesn't take long It also does not need to remove the wheel like a recap in other ways.
The process of reconfiguring the rubber that is thrust. First of all, foreign bodies that have stabbed the rubber must be pulled out. Then the device that looks like a long rod and thrust to widen the hole. And then the silk fiber was stabbed into it again to fill the hole Use scissors to cut out the protruding part. That's it. But this method is only suitable for a temporary emergency recap. Because there is still a chance that the air tires still leak out
2. Hot steam recap
For hot steam recap, it is necessary to remove the rubber first. Because it is a leak inside the tire. By using a small rubber pad to paste at the leak. Then use a heat press machine to heal the rubber to become homogeneous. Therefore it is more durable than the threaded rubber receptacle And can continue to use tires until the tires are worn out
Disadvantages of reconfiguring with hot steam will make the rubber texture hard. And cause a chance to swell in the future But it is still one of the most popular methods today.
3. Cold steam recap
Cold steam recap does not involve coldness. But there are steps similar to steam heating. It will be filling the leak from the inside as well. Starting from scrubbing the rubber surface around the puncture to be rough. Apply special glue to it. Then apply a small rubber pad to seal the leak, hitting it tightly to heal the leak and prevent the tire from seeping out. Which this method provides the same durability as hot steam Can use tires until they are worn out. And does not affect the tire structure as well
