I'd like to learn to do hot repairs to tires. For old bias ply type tires and farm equipment. Any chance one of you would happen to know some about this?
"Hot patches" are a thing of the past. Both the Tire Industry Association and the Rubber Manufacturers Association specifically say "hot patching" tires should not be done. All you're doing is burning away the vulcanizing cement which does the job of chemically bonding your patch to the tire.
That being said, back in the day before I knew any better, we would hot patch as follows:
Demount tire
Remove road debris or whatever punctured the tire
Ream out the hole with a carbide drill bit and a drill operating @ low rpm
Treat inner liner of the tire with rubber prep or buffing lube around the area to be patched/ plugged
Rake the area to remove the inner case liner ( kinda a waxy coating that helps keep air from permiating out)
Insert plug and trim flush with tire ( this is if using a 2 piece patch/plug)
Using buffing wheel buff inner case liner and plug until the rubber has a velvet like feel
Vacuum out all rubber dust from the drilling and buffing
Apply vulcanizing cement
. ........this is when we would light the cement on fire....
After a few seconds blow out the flame
Apply patch
Use a roller to press the patch on
Coat the whole thing with repair sealant

These days we skip the part when you light the cement and instead let the cement sit for a few minutes and dry until it has a dull hazy appearance. Then apply the patch.
Key thing is to scrape away all the case liner and buff the tire down til its like velvet. Be careful not to go down too far and expose the belts. If you buff it down just right the vulcanizing cement does just that.....vulcanizes your patch to the tire.
Its not glue. It chemically bonds the surfaces

No No, I mean like putting rubber back in where rubber once was. Think holes, not punctures. Besides my tires don't take patch cement. I've tried buffing, sanding, scraping. Cleaning with brake cleaner, alcohol etc. The patch just peels off.
I've taken to patching the tube, and using pull through tire plug / patch combo with black rtv to seal the tire.
I want to be able to repair tractor tire side walls.
Any and all sidewall repairs I've done or seen done where total jerry rigs.
Just enough to send someone limping down the road with no guarantee it was gonna hold. If there is a chunk out of a tire and the belts have become visible I wouldn't do anything but replace it. Have you seen a tire have a zipper rupture in the sidewall?
I have. The debris will literally tear off a limb....
I too have had trouble getting patches to stick. Usually only on riding mower or other small tires where you can't do much buffing. In those cases I just put a tube in them. As long as there is some meat left in the tread.
What's this for? If its not driven on the road or at speed and its just something you tool around on your property with then put a fresh tube in it. Even if its a "tubeless" tire.
Actually, the hot patch process is where you buy these special patches with some kind of flammable stuff on one side of it and you use a specially made press that will fit the patch (all patches I've ever seen were diamond shaped).
You put the patch on the tube, clamp it in the press, and set it on fire. When it cools off you're done and no vulcanizing cement is used. It's a old process that was used before they came out with vulcanizing cement.
I haven't seen any of these hot patches in years and don't even know if they are still available but the process worked really well. I also don't think you can use it for anything but tubes because I don't know how you'd get the press to work with a tire. I've still got a old patch press and would use it if I could find some hot patches.
I'm not sure that vulcanizing large sections of tires is something you can do at a home shop. I know that there is a place in Nashville that will do vulcanizing repairs on tires if the repair section isn't too big. I took them a tractor tire that had about a 6" cut in the sidewall and they said it was too big to fix.

Yup, used those many times on my bicycle and mower tubes back in the 70's. Good lord I'm old!
It was a cardboard like stuff in metal that burnt slowly. It worked well.
Setting fire to cement is certainly bad, it isn't hot patching. In hot patching, the patch is vulcanized or changed from a gummy rubber to a cured, harder rubber. Think bubble gum for unvulcanized rubber.
Tire shops had electric patch heaters but self contained slow match type heaters were produced, these used potassium nitrate infused carbon or cotton in a metal iron to clamp the patch down to the tire/tube. The heater would have correct temperature time constant to properly vulcanize the patch.
modern chemistry has made these unnecessary, synthetic cements work just as well.

Our mobile tire service offers car and truck tire repairs with hot vulcanization technology, fast in time, reliable in quality and cheap.
In tire repair, hot vulcanizing is one of the most common ways to repair punctures and cuts. It is not for nothing that this method is so widely used, because it gives a high-quality solution to the problem of even large tire cuts. Hot vulcanization uses raw rubber and high temperatures to repair the cut, at which the rubber melts and combines at the molecular level with the tire material. Tire repair by hot vulcanization allows you to firmly glue cuts longer than one centimeter, thanks to a strong connection, neither dust nor water can penetrate into the damaged area.
Therefore, such work can be carried out anywhere, even in the event of a breakdown on the track.
This method is considered the most reliable, it most strongly connects and fastens the edges of tire cuts. When the repair technology is observed in all nuances, the bonding strength of the cut edges exceeds 90%, and this is an excellent indicator.
Another plus of choosing hot vulcanization is that you can use the repaired tire almost immediately after the repair work is completed. The quality of bonding will not be adversely affected by low air temperature, or strong dustiness of the tire, or many other factors.
Another important point is the cost. Compared to cold vulcanizing, which is done using a special chemistry, the cost of materials used for hot vulcanizing is very low, and therefore, such repairs will cost you much less.
The specialists of our mobile tire service have extensive experience in repairing tire cuts, including side ones, using hot vulcanization.
For repairs, we use only modern equipment and high-quality materials, and we give a guarantee for all work. Our mobile tire shop can come to you at any time, wherever you are, in the shortest possible time and solve all problems related to wheels and tires.

This method is mainly used to repair tire side cuts or to repair serious damage to the tread of a truck tire. Any motorist or professional driver knows the moments when, during a collision with a sharp object, a curb or a pothole at high speed, mechanical damage to the tire structure occurs. It can be a tear, a side cut, a tread cut or a hernia, as drivers call it. If this happens to you, do not rush to get rid of damaged tires. The company is ready to help you restore your tires to working condition using hot vulcanization. What is this process? To bond damaged rubber material, high temperature is used. To do this, you must pre-process the fastened part. After that, a plastic mixture is used, which is applied to damaged areas. Hot vulcanization is carried out using an electric vulcanizing press. When heated to + 200 ° degrees, the adhesion of the masses into one whole occurs. The duration of the vulcanization process depends on two factors: the temperature regime and the thickness of the surfaces to be joined.
After connection, cooling is a prerequisite. The most reliable and effective way to repair tires is hot vulcanization, since this achieves the strongest joint formed, which prolongs the performance of the tires.0011
The machine must be low-revving from 2000 to 4000 rpm. 
The applied excess raw rubber will force you to additionally clean the outside, removing the excess after the procedure is completed. As you can see, in our tire center we do everything right and according to technology. Not many tire shops offer a guarantee on their work. We give a guarantee for any repairs performed by our masters.
If everything is done according to technology, according to all the rules, then the connection is strong and reliable. However, there are also drawbacks to this method. Deficiencies can result in delamination of patches, bulging or serious damage to the tire.
Therefore, before starting tire repair, it is necessary to assess the complexity of the damage and the location. It is better to immediately turn to real masters than to throw away the exfoliated tire later.
Hot vulcanizing is not only used for repairing tire side cuts. This is the most optimal way for enterprises that have conveyor belts in stock. The hot vulcanization process itself is as close as possible to the conveyor belt manufacturing technology and the strength of the joint during this process practically corresponds to the strength of the belt.
The price is highly dependent on the size of the lateral cut or hernia. In our tire workshop, the price for this service starts from 1200 rubles (hot vulcanization itself). In addition to it, you must pay for the installation of the patch. Prices for the installation of patches and patches can be found here.
Many people ask the question: “What should I do if a hernia appears on the wheel? Can you drive with a herniated tire? Why is this hernia dangerous? The best answer is to turn to the hot vulcanization method and remove the hernia from the tire. But let's go in order.
1. What causes a hernia on a wheel?
Hernia occurs in two cases. First: when the layers of rubber are delaminated, and air enters between the layers. From this case, you can easily insure yourself by buying high-quality rubber. Manufacturers of cheap rubber save on everything they can, so it's not surprising that the layers of this rubber delaminate. It happens the same way when a tire hits a bump or edge of a pit. The second case is when a cord breaks inside the tire. Such a hernia also appears from hitting a bump, the edge of a pit, or something similar. At the moment of impact, the cord inside the tire bursts, and the rubber stretches. After that, the cord no longer holds back the stretched rubber and it is not able to independently maintain pressure inside the tire.
The rubber begins to swell, and, as a result, we see this swelling on the tire, which is called a hernia in the common people.
2. Can I drive with a herniated tire?
Of course not. The fact is that a hernia can burst at any time. Even if the wheel is just standing still, the pressure inside the tire is constantly acting on the hernia of the wheel and gradually inflates it. If you are moving at speed, then any pits and impacts on the wheel lead to sharp compressions, and this increases the pressure. You are in danger of flying into a ditch or into oncoming traffic if a wheel bursts. If you have a spare tire, it is better to put it on right away, and take the swollen wheel for repair. If there is no spare tire, drive at a minimum speed to the nearest tire shop, where there is a hot curing unit.
3. Can a herniated wheel be removed?
Of course you can. For this, there is a method of hot vulcanization. The process of hernia removal is identical to the repair of side cuts.
First, the hernia is cut out with a margin of several centimeters. It must be cut to an intact cord and not stretched rubber without delamination. This is followed by all the same points as when repairing side cuts: the same thorough cleaning, roughening, processing and cleaning, choosing a patch and attaching it from the inside of the tire, applying a layer of raw rubber on top, and the process itself on the machine. In general, with the correct observance of all the technique of the process, the removal of hernias is not only possible, but also carried out with the guarantee that a hernia will not occur again. In our tire service, we do all the work with high quality and give a guarantee for all types of repairs, both side cuts and hernia repair.
