REMA REM-A-3 Combi-Unit Tire Repair Plug-Patch, Universal, Lead Wire, 1/8" Stem, 15/16" Round Patch (Box of 50)

Q: How does the REMA REM-A-3 compare to traditional separate plug and patch repairs? A: The REM-A-3 combines both plug and patch into one integrated unit, cutting installation time in half while providing superior sealing. Traditional methods require applying a plug from outside, then demounting the tire to apply an internal patch. The combi-unit installs from inside in one step using the lead wire, creating a permanent vulcanized seal throughout the entire injury.

Q: What size punctures can the REM-A-3 repair effectively? A: This model handles injuries up to 1/8 inch or 3mm in diameter, which covers most common nail holes, screws, and small puncture wounds in the tire crown. The 15/16 inch round patch provides adequate coverage with proper overlap beyond the damage. For larger injuries exceeding 3mm, REMA offers larger Minicombi units in their product line.

Q: Do I need to remove the tire from the wheel to install these repairs? A: In most cases, no. The lead wire stem design allows installation from inside the tire while it remains mounted. You insert the wire through the puncture from inside, pull it through from outside to seat the patch, then trim the excess stem flush with the tread. Only severe damage or hard-to-reach punctures may require demounting.

Q: Is REMA Special Blue Cement required, or can I use other tire repair adhesives? A: REMA strongly recommends their Special Blue Cement for permanent, reliable repairs with REM-A-3 units. This cement is specifically formulated to bond with REMA's rubber compounds and create a vulcanized seal. Using incompatible adhesives may result in patch separation, air leaks, or premature repair failure. The cement investment ensures repairs last the tire's lifetime.
