Directions for use of the aerosol: Before using, carefully
read all the instructions on the canister, or on any literature
accompanying the product. The following instructions ap-
ply to the use of Holts Tireweld:
1. Remove the object causing the puncture, and position
the wheel with the puncture site lowermost. Deflate tire
fully.
2. Shake the can vigorously. In cold conditions, warm the
can using the car's heater outlets, or by body warmth.
3. Screw the aerosol tube onto the tire valve, remove the
cap, hold the can upright and press the button until the
tire is firmly inflated.
4. Immediately drive for 6 - 12 miles (10 - 20 km) (or to the
tire repair facility if nearer) in a moderate manner and
not exceeding 30 mph (45 km/h), to allow the sealant
to spread. Then check and adjust the tire pressure as
necessary.
5. Have the tire professionally repaired or replaced at the
earliest opportunity, and until such time, limit speed to
30 mph (45 km/h) with a moderate driving manner. Note
that some tire repairers may make an additional charge
for cleaning the sealant off the tire before repair, and
that any subsequent repairs may not be guaranteed.
6. Renew the puncture repair aerosol.
