Had a message from @motoko
"Seen you've been a big proponent of the flexible rubber mixed superglue for tyre cuts. Do you usually apply this when the tyre is deflated or inflated. Anything special I should pay attention to for application?"
If there is high pressure in the tyre it will make it hard to get the glue into the cut. So generally no or low air pressure.
Superglue sets faster in the presence of water so put glue on to the cut (or if using a tyre worm into the gap between worm and tyre) and add water (or spit)
@cycleclinic has a good video on his website.
