Same here - always boiled tyres to good effect. Couple of things to remember:

  • Either put the extractor fan on or leave the back door open as it tends to mist up all the windows in kitchen and then wife complains.
  • Need to acquire an old saucepan and lid because I don't think really think you want to be cooking in it afterwards due to superglue that will have evaporated in it and wife will complain if you wreck her decent saucepans.
  • Never let the saucepan run dry of water. Apparently if you set a saucepan of tyres boiling when you are at home one day and then pop into garage for a few minutes to work on your car and come out 3 hours later there is a lot of smoke and your kitchen stinks for about a week. Wife does not like that either.
If you are single a lot of the problems go away
