Good suggestions. There are other products and ratios to use depending on what you're trying to achieve.Spin it around 450 rpm. Water and methanol 50/50 in a gallon jug add around 10oz of simple green to the mixture should have pretty good results for you. Don't use wd40 to surface tires.
Yes it will helpDoes freezing the tire help, similar to cutting soft tires?
It has to evaporate into the tire in order to pull any oil to the surface, youre not doing this ( letting it evaporate into the tire ) when re finishing a tire and that is why its used a lot to re finish, along with methanol as well. You are just using it as a coolant.I've never understood using simple green to resurface, when it's supposed to pull the oils to the surface.
You know what i meant Brian.Things don't evaporate into a tire, Earl. They evaporate into the air. The chemical left behind (that DOES NOT evaporate) is what goes into the tire.
I'll agree that Simple Green probably isn't getting deep enough into the tire when you're refinishing to be overly worried about it, especially if just using it as a coolant, but is that Simple Green being rinsed off afterwards - that's the next question, and if not, won't that chemical still be evident in the rubber, sure.
I've used a lot of different mixes of coolant over the years. Some with success, some not so much. Just plain water will help in keeping the tire cool during the refinishing process. Bottom line is to use what you are comfortable with and be consistent so that you can expect the same results each time.
Yea, I kinda figured, but just making sure everyone else reading along understands correctly.You know what i meant Brian.
