In today’s video, I’m putting the “Sketchy Foam Tire Repair” method to the test – that is, using spray
foam insulation to fix two non-repairable tires on my trusty wood splitter. Besides being an interesting experiment, this project has a practical side too: saving money! Replacement tires for my wood splitter would cost me nearly $300, which is 3x more than I paid for the entire machine.
As you might recall from one of my previous videos, I mentioned that I’d be trying out this foam tire
repair trick. And now, here it is – the moment of truth! Nor am I just winging it; I’ve done some research and believe that this method might actually work for something like my wood splitter, which gets used maybe once a year at most.
So, let’s take a closer look at how the sketchy foam tire repair works. First, you’ll need to prepare the area around the tire by cleaning off any dirt or debris. Then, you’ll need to drill a couple of holes in the tire itself. Next, you’ll fill spray foam insulation to the inside of the tire, making sure to fill until some is coming out the holes.
Equally important is allowing the foam to dry completely before moving on. Check that the tire seems solid and still adheres to the rim and all the appropriate stuff. In addition to being an affordable solution, this sketchy foam tire repair method also seems like a pretty cool
hack – who wouldn’t want to try fixing their tires with something as unexpected as spray foam insulation?
