got frustrated today..i tried to air up my hand truck tires and "nothing" so I read an article on this site that said to put a band around the tire tight enough so there is no air seepage, I though what kind of band???? Hugh! no air seepage, then i got a brain storm, "a girl thing"...I put earthquake putty all around the inside of the rim on both sides...tada! it worked, when the pressure started pushing the putty out, I just pulled it out. Amazing what a little ingenuity can do. It is better that the guy from Texas, hitting the tire with a butt of an Axe.
