It is not recommended to immediately repair a slowly leaking tire. Frequent repairs and repeated disassembly and assembly can cause damage to the vehicle's rims and tires. The following are situations where it is not advisable to restore the tire to normal working condition through repair: 1. Large-area scratches or damage on the sidewall. 2. A 'penetrating' hole or puncture in the tread with a diameter exceeding 5mm is not recommended for repair. 3. If the entire bead (inner tire ring) is damaged or deformed, the tread is twisted, deformed, corroded by chemicals, or the tire has been 'rolled over' while underinflated, it is not recommended to restore it through 'repair'; instead, replacing the tire is advised. 4. In cases of severe damage, exposed steel belts, severe delamination, bubbling, etc., the above repair methods are not recommended, and replacing the tire is the better option.

What is the treatment method for sanding on cement pavement?

Direct spraying ensures that the base layer is fully saturated and absorbed. Continuously replenish the absorbed material to maintain a saturated state, ensuring the entire ground is thoroughly permeated. At least 48 hours after construction, apply Material #2 directly to the hardened ground surface in a single, even, and generous coat. No additional curing is required. If sanding is severe and the surface layer is peeling, the ground should first be coated with a treatment agent. Once dry, mix this treatment agent with cement and apply it evenly to the ground. Inadequate or untimely curing, exposure to intense sunlight, or strong winds can cause excessive water loss from the concrete surface, preventing sufficient hydration and resulting in lower strength.
