It needs a little moisture to cure so when you are filling it up with the polystyrene solids add a little water in too ready for the foam injection. |

You can buy puncture proof (solid) wheelbarrow tyres. They are not as good as proper pneumatic tyres, it's feels like pushing a flat tyre if there is any load. http://www.screwfix.com/p/select-fla...diameter/64203 http://www.molevalleyfarmers.com/mvf...ure-free-wheel -- djc (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿) No low-hanging fruit, just a lot of small berries up a tall tree. |

They sell foam filled ones for caravan/trailer jockey wheels too, so I tried one. They initially show promise, but rapidly go flat if weight is left on them. The one I tried, simply stayed flat and came completely off its rim. |

Considering the cost of a can of foam, which is seldom any good again once used, and your work it's just as cheap to buy a new wheel and tyre for £10. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pneumatic-T...neumatic+tyres -- Regards.

I reckon I could remove a wheelbarrow tyre, fix the puncture with a cycle repair kit, and refit the wheel in under 10 minutes. If you purchased a spare wheel so you could fix the punctured one at your leisure, it would take only two minutes to swap them. I can't imagine any wheelbarrow-related task that would suffer from a two minute delay... Chris -- Remove prejudice to reply. |

You can buy puncture proof (solid) wheelbarrow tyres. They are not as good as proper pneumatic tyres, it's feels like pushing a flat tyre if there is any load. We prefer barrows with a solid tyre. We've had a wheelbarrow with a solid tyre for at least 40 years and it's the chosen one for all wheelbarrowing. We even got rid of our 'bought at much expense' barrow with a pneumatic tyre. It was too irritating. |
