My wheel barrow wheel is tubeless and has lost all it's air (no puncture). Its a small, but fat tyre and hangs very loose on the wheel and pump/compressor doesn't cut it. I was thinking of duct taping the tyre to the rim to try and seal the gap a bit so it would at least start to hold air but came across an old tin of emergency tyre weld. Worth a go or a messy mess? Bare in mind i have no intentions of replacing the tyre and this temporary fix will be permanent (hopefully).

Pushing a barrow full of gravel up a bumpy hill with a flat tyre is probably the least rewarding thing i've done in my life and a real lesson in futility. It's a niche too far ๐Ÿ˜€

If a compressor won't work then tyre weld isn't going to help, I think.

Get it seated and then do the tyre weld, maybe.
