Default Re-Rubbering

Hi all - it is quite simple. Firstly identify an industrial rubber facility and get a mold made using a wheel as a template. My mold cost about $3000 to make and what happens is that the stripped rim is placed in the mold and then rubber is molded to it under a 600 ton press. My rubber has a Duro rating of about 75 which is more than adequate.

Bob
