GOOD / BAD WHEEL REPLACEMENT GUIDE
Rubberhog SSG®technology generates exceptional wheel life. However, a worn-out buffing wheel of any kind may cause risk of repair failure! Worn wheels can scorch the rubber, preventing the repair from bonding properly. Rubberhog wheels in good condition produce the safest and highest-quality repairs. You are strongly encouraged to replace when wear is visible.
GOOD
- New wheels have visible, very sharp teeth
- You can feel the ‘bite’ when rubbing with your fingers
- Very little heat is created while buffing
- Removes material quickly and easily
BAD
- Displays teeth that are rounded/broken and shiny
- Little aggressiveness; much less ‘bite’ to the touch
- May have heavy rubber build-up within the teeth
- Produces lots of heat and smoke
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
It is important to first properly clean the tire liner to remove contaminants prior to buffing. However, if the wheel does plug up, you may soak it in brake cleaner or a similar solvent, then clear with a hand wire brush. If you find the wheel still plugs after using on clean rubber, or if it shows obvious signs of wear, it should be replaced.
