Application Instructions
For optimal results, apply vulcanizing cement to both the buffed tire surface and the patch. Allow the cement coating to become completely dry and tacky before installing the repair unit. When working with large reinforced patches, ensure thorough coverage on both surfaces. The fast-drying formula minimizes wait time while providing the working window needed for proper patch placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does XTRA SEAL cement compare to regular tire glue?
XTRA SEAL vulcanizing cement creates permanent chemical bonds with rubber compounds rather than just surface adhesive sticking. This results in integrated repairs that won't fail under heat, pressure, and flexing cycles like standard tire glues often do. The chemical vulcanization process ensures long-lasting, professional-grade adhesion that maintains tire safety standards.
Can this cement be used for both plug and patch repairs?
Yes, X14008 works effectively with plugs, patches, and combination plug-patch repairs. It's specifically formulated to be compatible with any XTRA SEAL repair unit and provides proper chemical adhesion for all common tire repair methods. The versatile formula ensures consistent bonding whether you're doing inside patches, plugs, or combination repairs on passenger and light truck tires.
How long should I wait before installing the patch after applying cement?
Wait until the cement coating becomes completely dry and tacky to the touch, which typically takes 3-5 minutes depending on temperature and humidity conditions. This drying time is crucial because it allows the solvents to evaporate while leaving the vulcanizing agents ready to bond. Installing the patch too early on wet cement will compromise adhesion strength and repair longevity.
Is this cement suitable for sidewall repairs?
While this cement provides strong adhesion, sidewall repairs should only be attempted by experienced professionals due to critical safety considerations. Most tire industry standards recommend against sidewall repairs, especially in shoulder areas. Always consult current TIA guidelines and manufacturer specifications before attempting sidewall repairs, as improper patching can lead to catastrophic tire failure.
What makes this a flammable product and how should it be stored?
The chemical solvents that enable rapid drying and strong rubber bonding are highly flammable and require careful handling. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources, open flames, and electrical equipment. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use, maintain temperatures below 80°F, and ensure adequate ventilation during application. Always follow OSHA safety guidelines and product label warnings.
