Message-ID: <521@ihu1g.UUCP> Date: Sat, 22-Sep-84 17:30:23 EDT Article-I.D.: ihu1g.521 Posted: Sat Sep 22 17:30:23 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 26-Sep-84 04:15:13 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 14 *WARNING* There are several brands of aerosol tire fixers on the market which are supposed to seal leaks from small punctures in your tires. DON'T USE THEM! I recently had a tire fixed after this gunk failed to seal a slow leak in one of my Michelins, and the guy at the tire shop showed me what this CRAP had done -- eaten all the paint off the rim. He said that it eventually would have ruined the tire. Fortunately, I cought it in time, so I only spent $7 for a patch, instead of $100 for a new tire. -- Bob Fishell ihnp4!ihu1g!fish
