I did on my first Austin 7, a Mk 1 Ruby back in 1975, and it wasn't a pleasant experience!

Yes, it did blow up - and the air that came back was, indeed, rather unpleasant....

If can acquire from someone and still purchase patching in sheets, could make up. I used to recover bike tubes where the bike had been wheeled flat so the valve pulled out.

Thanks for that info, Bob. I'll see what I can find.
