Quote:Umbrella Patches Umbrella patches are a hybrid between a patch and a plug. Locate and remove the foreign material that punctured the tire, then remove the tire from the rim. Clean the area with solvent about three inches around the puncture. Use a reaming tool to properly size the hole to receive the plug portion of the umbrella patch, then insert the plug into the puncture hole of the tire using a tool specially designed for the purpose. Pull the plug section through the puncture hole until the glued patch portion bottoms out on the inner surface of the tire. Trim the excess plug material away, then mount the tire on the rim. Inflate the tire then balance it before putting the tire back on the car.
