I then partially inflate tube and bounce the tire on the floor rotating it at the same time, just to seat the tube. Then inflate and deflate a few times.
Remember the old vulcanizing patches, put on the glue and patch then install vulcanizing pan clamp it light it and let it burn. I used to like the smell of the vulcanizing smoke.
