I've seen that done to re-seat a bead out in the sand dunes. It works
I'm with Sea Dated, I've done it more times than I could possible count. Starting fluid is my personal favorite, but sometimes you have to settle. My guys get a little gun shy when I get ready to do it. It's a little intimidating the first few times but gets easier with time.

you cant do that with wd40 any more they had to take out the flammable propellant more than ten years ago. Hairspray works much better anyway:cheers2:

How much air pressure will be in the tire after doing that. What a wild way to inflate a tire!!

a couple of pounds, the trick is to have the air hose ready or the cooling/contracting gasses will pull the tire back off the bead

It works, I tried everything to get a tire rebeaded on my tractor last fall....nothing worked until some local redneck suggested this method, I tried it and problem was solved within 3 seconds

You might have your facts wrong, WD40 is still very much flammable as of two weeks ago.

The propellant might not be flammable but the product itself is........:sifone:

Comes in handy out on the sand dunes. I bought some paddle tires once that the rim was buckled form someone before me using a skosh too much... Look close at the back wheel on the buggy. Funny thing is it still held air fine but yes it can be dangerous!

yes the product will burn, but it wont "blowtorch" when sprayed like it used to.
