Hello guys,
yesterday, I got a nail in my tire and plugged it, but something odd happened. So, after I plugged it, I decided to fill it up to 50 psi and add more soap just to make sure it was completely sealed. well, it still had a tiny leak in it. I waited an hour to see how bad, and it dropped down to 47 psi. I thought, okay, I got a spare vehicle, I just take care of it on another day as it was getting late. this morning, checked the air pressure again, and it didnt drop any more beyond the 47 psi from last night, so I decided to use more soap, and the leak is gone. I dont understand how a plug can leak at first then seal itself?
