lots of small cuts. some are seeping sealant.

Plus I want to fix the puncture I got this morning.

 

 

B.T.W. 1 tiny tube of Loctite Power Flex at Leroy Merlin is R61. This stuff better work.

Oh okay, not too sure what to do with small cuts. In my experience glue alone doesnt really work. But for bigger cuts, some stitching with dental floss and a puncture patch always does the trick..

For small cuts the sealant should be doing its job. If there are not dozens of cuts remove tyre and patch from the inside.

No glue applied from the outside will stop air from leaking. Superglue generally works best on 2 flat-mating, non porous surfaces where air can be excluded. 

As an aside I've tried it to fix a small cut on my Gatorskin clincher to no avail. I'm guessing silicone is my next best bet?

A Trip to CycleLab or Similar Will work much Better than Silicone.

This is why I was particularly looking for the power flex as it has rubber infused and is flexible.

Original poster that mentioned it has used it on tyres.

 

I'm not trying to seal the hole from the puncture, merrily reduce the size of the overall opening to give it a little extra strength for the internal patch.

What method are CL going to use? Walk over to the tyre aisle and pick a new tyre?

[Underachiever]

I've used superglue with good effect on tubbies where there is a small cut in the outer surface.  Just to prevent sand/grit to work its way into the tyre and cause a possible puncture. 

For a proper puncture I use vulcanizing glue + a road tube patch on the inside of the tyre.

Yip that's what I tried but it didn't adhere. Its crazy to scrap a usesble tyre for just one cut.

Patches and if the hole is big enough, dental floss to sew it closed. Then use a good sealant such as OrangeSeal Enduro. 
 

But smaller holes should be sealed by the sealant. If they aren’t, it’s time to try something new.

I posted about a repair i did on a MTB tyre that had a sidewall tear . I used shaved rubber from an old tyre mixed that into the super glue and forced it into the tear , i then also put a motor vehicle tube patch on the inside . This was a brand new tyre and it happened on its first ride . The tear never opened , lost air ( i ride tubeless ) and i got 5000 km out of that tyre .

Could it be this?
