Tyre adhesive

Have any of you guys used or heard of an adhesive for repairing tyres? I dont mean fixing a hole or puncture as I think that would be just dangerous. What Im thinking is if you get cuts on the tyre lugs, can they be closed up with adhesive? Often get cuts if the tyres have been used on stones or the woods.

I've seen Herculiner bed liner used to fill holes in tractor tires. Pour off most of the liquid and then fill. Seems to hold well. Some guys use it on tractor pull tires to get more grip and fill cracks.
 
I use windshield install adhesive. Clean the cut with lacquer thinner or similar. you can build a form with masking tape if necessary and shape it with cling film.
Keep unused portion in wife’s freezer for next project. I use 3M 8609.

I thought that windshield adhesive stayed soft.
 
black silicone gasket maker holds well on small cuts and cracks if you scrape the area clean and the clean with laquer thinner before applying.
 
You might be thinking of butyl rubber used as bedding compound. . Urethane adhesive cures to tougher than nails and sticks like crazy.
 
I have a friend who installs windshields from time to time. He gave me a tube of "urethane" one time to fill in a hole in a bed liner that came on my Dodge truck. It was a factory liner, one of those that has the ribs running long ways of the bed. Someone had cut a hole in the middle for a trailer ball. I filled a three inch diameter hole and as it set up I shaped it like the ribs, and later smoothed it with a sharp knife. It's been that way for almost ten years and is still stuck to the liner, and the bed underneath. That stuff will stick to anything and stay. It's about the same consistency as the really hard rubber on old tractor tires. Might work OK if the area is undercut and really cleaned out.
