I got some PL black Polyurethene for roof sealant to fill up some holes in my rear tires.
How long does it take to set and dry? I'd like to take it to put it on tomorrow, then take it to a show on Friday. I'm thinking I should wait to put the poly in.

Mike check with the local glass shops in your area, sometimes they have some left over in a tube from a previous job that they would be willing to give ya.

I usually don't wade into these contraversal subject, as the use of something for what it was not designed for...But have been following your saga with the different Farmalls and knowing money is tight, you being with military and new addition to your household, figured I would share somethings I have learned over the years...

And Shawn and I have been restoring a Farmall SC that was given to him to see if maybe it was something he could do.. Soon be 2 years since we started his project, close to the finished product now.

Just finished making the battery box today w/lid, hopefully will get some color shot on it in the next couple of days..

Anyway good luck on up coming show, and hopefully ya can do a hay ride.

I'm outa here, Special Olympic track practice tonite starts in 45 minute

Simple answer with a QUESTION::

Would you install your automotive windshield with roofing polyurethane???


:lol:
Ok, obviously no. But we aren't talking about either. We're talking about patching tractor tires. So, the question begs, between roofing tile and car windshields, which will roll on the ground better? :lol:
You are leaning towards the windshield poly. I'd just like to know the difference. Will it cure faster, or harder, or last longer?

Windshield poly, is designed to handle more extreme invironment, let the auto body flex yet hold the windshield in under the most extreme circumstances. Same goes with using it as you are atempting to do. I have used it to repair bottoms of my Motocross soles where they have worn out from continuely being on foot pegs. Did not like spending $150 to $250 every two years for new pair of boots. Also have used it to put patches on canvas tents. I have a pair of Al-Cross felt-packs (artic Boots) that I repaired heels and soles with automotive polyurethane about 12 years ago, still using them..

Also cures faster and will last a lot longer than roofing poly..

Get some polyurethane for installing automotive winshields from your local auto glass shop, and quit messing around with junk!!
Do it right the first time and ya won't have to do it again.

It's roof sealant, so I figured "usable" for a roof sealant and usable for a tire patch would have a different time frame. It doesn't matter what the lable says when you aren't using it as directed. I wanted to know from people who have used it as I intend to use it, like Jim, who suggested I get it in the first place.

6 to 7 days minimum. It will skin over, but not be firm. Jim
