Claims
- 1. A method of bonding uncured urethane formulation to a cured rubber substrate comprising the steps of:
- (a) cleaning the substrate surface;
- (b) coating the cleaned substrate surface with a liquid cyanoacrylate adhesive;
- (c) coating the substrate surface, wetted with the cyanoacrylate adhesive, with a liquid or paste urethane formulation while the adhesive is still wet; and
- (d) permitting the urethane formulation to cure.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the urethane formulation is applied to the substrate surface wetted with the cyanoacrylate adhesive in an initial coating and additional amounts of urethane are applied before the initial coating of urethane has cured until the desired volume of urethane is present.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said volume of urethane is molded into final form.
- 4. The method of claim 2, wherein said volume of urethane is buffed into final form.
- 5. A method of recapping a rubber tire with a urethane formulation, comprising the steps of:
- (a) buffing down the tire casing surface to remove old tread and cleaning said surface of extraneous materials;
- (b) coating the buffed tire casing surface with a liquid cyanoacrylate adhesive to wet said surface with adhesive;
- (c) applying an initial liquid or paste coating of an uncured urethane formulation onto said surface while said surface is still wet with the cyanoacrylate adhesive;
- (d) placing said tire in a mold having an interior configuration of the desired shape of the recapped portion of the tire;
- (e) injecting additional liquid or paste urethane formulation into said mold before the initial urethane has cured and filling the interior cavity of the mold;
- (f) removing the recapped tire from the mold as soon as the urethane formulation has set; and
- (g) allowing said urethane formulation to cure.
