I've seen this done dozens of time with Ether. One of the hazards of growing up in the cab of a Kenworth. This was (and probably still is) standard practice for fixing truck tires. Too much time in truckstop repair shops I guess. Definately gets your attention when it gets lit

I use hair-spray.

I get the pleasure of hearing those big truck tires go boom about 4 or 5 times a day at work ! We use ether !

Scared the crap outta me when I was a little kid. Dad would distract me when he saw them getting ready to do it and I would jump out of my shoes when those things went off behind me, LOL.

I saw my daddy do this one day. But he used something in a can that you use to spray on a carborator (cant spell it) I had never seen anyone do this ever! I thought he had lost his mind! He bout gave me a dang heart attack! I just knew he was gonna blow his self up!

Yep, done it a number of times. My son showed me first. Starting fluid is the ticket

My Daddy was amazed when he watched me inflate 22 inch tires for my big rig with ether and a Bic .
So much so that when he had a flat on a 10 inch lawn tractor tire he used the same process . 2 count of full discharge of ether into the tire followed by a flick of the Bic .
Momma took him to the ER to get 27 stitches in his forearm from the exploding rim .
Every risky procedure has a consequence if you don't use your brain to some degree .

That's the first tire I tried it with; a front, riding lawnmower tire. Worked great but, it wasn't a full 2 count! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus!

Momma is gone and Daddy is 83 and still caring for 50 head of cattle and running equiptment every day .
The Lord helps us look after him 'cause we surely couldn't do it by ourselves .

 

[packerbacker]

83, 50 head of cattle and still running equipment? The man is surely blessed. I wish him many more years

 

[boogeyman]

it blowed up

AAwwwwwww Now we know what happened to the lip caterpellar An you told us you shaved it

No thanks to this technique. Saw a man loose most of his head when a split ring rim let go, when I was about 9 or 10. Had a lot of nightmares after that and a lot of respect for rims!

Where do you get ether?

For putting on tires?

Its not intended for popping tires onto rims.
(I do not recommend using this method to anyone unfamiliar with
mounting tires)

Called starting fluid in the auto parts stores . Not recommended for tire mounting and actually a fineable offense on an OSHA regulated site .
Still it beats heck out of a $300 service call if you do it right .
