So shoe goo is the way to go? I was just thinking vulcanizing cement like in the patch kit. Thanks!
Shoe Goo isn't a miracle but it should work, doesn't do any harm and should keep debris out. Never considered patch kit cement. It'd be fun to run a tire with two of those flaps and try each approach side by side.
