To do this, stretch an old rubber glove over the end of your tyre repair kit with a piece of rubber tubing or an old inner tube. Push the end of your gloved finger over the puncture hole in the inner tube, then gently squeeze it to form a seal;Spray some lubricant around the rim and quickly push the repair nozzle through the wheel until it is firmly seated (you might need to screw it in by hand if your car is fitted with wheel nuts rather than bolts).

It provides instant relief from the inconvenience of flat tyre situations but doesn't provide total security until the tyre has been mended by a professionalType B - Mousse type sealants work by being inserted into the inner tube to form an airtight plug that prevents air loss within minutes of insertion; this method is used for all motorized vehicles, including cars, bikes, motorcycles, four-wheel drives etc due to its effectiveness against deflation caused by hitting sharp objects roads. All chances of escaping air pressure within the inner tube can be ruled out after using this methodSome modern cars require a mixture of sealant and air to work correctly, not just pure air so always check your cars handbook for incorrect tyre repair mixing. The easiest way is to use a pressure gauge in the tyre valve stem before and after filling with Type B or mixed product and record what it says in your car's manual. Using this method eliminates the chance of applying too much or too little pressure inside the tyre by doing it yourself. We recommend that you only get trained professionals from workshops or garages to do this. These guys have been trained on how to do it properly using the right equipment, especially if your vehicle has different types/levels of sealant mixingIt is recommended that if you use a Car Tyres Longton ;Type product then you should insert it into the tyre directly from its container without using an inner tube as it will become flat once punctured" ]
