Since vulcanizing cement is easy to come by, the
problem, it seems, for homeowners, is getting small
quantities of the two fluids:
a. buffer spray
b. inner liner sealer === this is the most critical

Also a couple of the basic tools are hard to come by:
A. Half-moon scraper
B. Carbide reamer === this is the most critical
C. Conical rasp

I called Western States at 800-831-4724, but they only
wholesale.

They suggested Bomgaards http://www.bomgaars.com but
they don't seem to have stores in California.

Given that the carbide reamer and the inner liner
sealer are the most critical tools, what would you
use for the carbide reamer?

NOTE: The spiral reamer that comes with most outside
plug kits doesn't look *anything* like the smooth
fluted carbide reamer in the videos, where the goal
is to smooth the cut edges of the belts I believe.


If your area has a Tech route salesman, everything you need
is on his truck:
