Slow Puncture - Any harm in trying tyreweld?

[JonRGV250]

Yup, it takes roughy 20 minutes to do, and most independent garages charge around £60/70 p/h labour, so it’s perfectly fair.
Also factor in a new valve (which must be replaced) and also cleaning the rim and balancing the wheel.

Hey everyone, I've got a slow puncture on a tyre and have a couple of cans of Holts Tyreweld in the boot.

I just had this on one of my wheels. It wasn't a puncture at all but some rust on the rim that broke the seal and let air through. I took it to a tyre place and they cleaned it up and it cost me £25.

Ah, read-ahead mode was off! Glad you got it sorted.

I can't see why any garage would even bother for £10 to be honest, unless they're literally so quiet the guys are falling asleep.

£12.50 in Wadebridge for a puncture repair , pleased it was repairanble as would have been £110 otherwise
