Lou, What place do you use in San Felipe for hot patches? I just got a buggy that has a hole in the left rear tire. The previous owner put a plug in it, but it is still leaking. I took it to a tire shop in California my mistake. The tire has slime on the inside. The tire guy wiped the inside by the hole and then tried a patch. He said it did not stick because of the slime. I put another plug in it but it still leaks a little bit. Will the hot patches they use in San Felipe hold in a tire that has had slime in it? I will be down to San felipe next week around Wednesday or Thursday. We stay at Villa Marina 12 miles south of town. I think I would like to try the hot patch thing. Thanks for any help you can give me. Jack

Jack, don't know if the vulcanizing will work when it's had Slime it it or not. The guy I've used for years is on the first street east of Mar Caribe (airport road) in the block just south of Chetamul Turn right between old Pemex on the circle and Ramirez Auto Partes - half way down the block on the right. Great guy. He's fixed stuff for me that I thought would never work. I'm in El Dorado, but give me a call and maybe share a taco or something.
