The National Day holiday is coming soon. I believe many people will choose to drive long distances, travel or return home for a long time. Before leaving, we will pay attention to the amount of vehicle fuel, but few people will pay attention to the tires in contact with the ground. Before long-distance driving, you need to check the use of the vehicle, especially check the tires. In addition, how do you handle a puncture during driving? In response to these problems, I next talk about the tires.


● Start to check the tire

It is necessary to develop habits of checking tires on weekdays. Before long-distance travel, you should pay more attention to the inspection of tires, such as checking the wear of treads, cracks or bulges, the service life of tires, and spare tires. Long-distance self-driving inspection of tires can effectively ensure the smoothness and safety of travel.

1. Tread loss near wear marks

Any brand of tires will be provided with a wear mark at the bottom of the tread groove. Generally, the wear mark height of the car tire is 1.6 mm (this height is also the legal minimum groove depth of the tire), and the wear mark height on the load tire is 2.4 mm.

Some owners think that as long as the tires are not broken, even if the tire treads are worn out quickly, such old tires are actually very dangerous. When a wet surface is encountered, a smooth tread cannot completely drain the water under the tire, which can easily lead to loss of control of the vehicle.

2. Damage to tires such as cracks or bulges

In the course of daily car use, tires may be caught by foreign objects or bumped into curbs, which can lead to tire damage. Damage to the tire includes tread cracks, bulging, missing rubber on the tread, severe wear on the sidewalls, and tires stuck to foreign objects many times. Especially the bulge, the tire will have the danger of bursting at any time. As long as these tires are found to be damaged, the owner should change the tires as soon as possible to ensure the safety of travel.

3. Tire age expires

Even if the car owners usually drive cars, how good the road conditions are, how tire maintenance is in place, and the tires are used for a long time, they will gradually age. The service life of a tire is usually about 5 years, beyond which the tire will begin to age. The main manifestation of tire aging is surface hardening, followed by cracking. Aging tires lose their elasticity. Continued use will cause tread deformation and risk of puncture.

Therefore, if the tire is found to have reached the end of its useful life, and it does not appear to be seriously worn out, the owner must develop the habit of frequent inspections; if he is always driving at high speeds, he is advised to use the tire for a useful life. Regardless of whether the tread is intact, it is recommended that it be timely. Replace it to ensure safe driving.

4. Check the condition of the spare tire

The tires are inspected by a small number of people and it is estimated that the spare tire is more likely to be forgotten. Really, as a car owner, the spare tire is rarely checked, mainly to do maintenance on time. In fact, when I wrote this article, I discovered that I had also made a small mistake. I really ignored the spare tire. If you are a car owner who wants to travel from Tibet to Guangzhou or across the province during the National Day holiday, you will still have to check your spare tire to prevent it from working if you need to use it.

● Need to prepare some car items

In addition to checking tires, in order to deal with the different conditions of the tires, we still need to prepare some items on the vehicle, such as self-provided flashlights, tire pressure gauges, conditional preparation of an air pump and tool kits. Although the current mobile phone can replace the flashlight, but it is truly to use for a long time at night, and change the spare tire in different circumstances, etc., it is recommended to bring a flashlight; there are inspections and inspections of tire replacement tools are not missing.

2 How to handle and replace the spare tire when a puncture occurs

●flat tire, how to replace the spare tire

Unless your car is equipped with run-flat (explosion-proof) tires, flat tires or tire leaks, you need to take the spare tire out of the emergency. But the question is, how many people will replace the spare tire? Or how to replace it is the correct way?

If a puncture occurs, we must first stop the vehicle by the side, preferably by the right side; open a double flash, and then place a dangerous warning sign behind the car. Ordinary urban roads are placed 50 to 100 meters behind the car. The highway needs to be placed. 150 meters behind the car. However, in daily driving, I saw other people changing spare tires on the road. Most of them were placed about 10 meters behind the car and they looked dangerous.

If you do a good job in the front, you can prepare to replace the spare tire. Take out the tire change tool, first loosen the bolts of the hub (just loose it) and then align the jack with the lifting position, slowly lift the vehicle, and put the spare tire into the bottom of the tire. You can stop lifting when there is a gap. Continue to loosen the bolts, loosen all the bolts, and replace the tires that need replacing with the spare tire at the bottom of the plug. After the spare tires are replaced, they can leave everything by tidying everything up.

● What to do if a puncture occurs

How does a puncture occur when the vehicle is driving? This problem was originally intended to be interspersed with the replacement of the spare tire, but this problem is too prominent, or it is more appropriate to use it alone.

If the vehicle punctures during driving, we must first grip the steering wheel, and then use the point brake to slowly brake the vehicle. Always hold the steering wheel during braking. After the car stops, turn on the double flash, and pay attention to the back of the car; remember not to fiercely hit the direction and brake. Although these people may all know, when things come suddenly, the estimates are forgotten. However, one thing you can't forget is to fasten your seat belts, either front or rear.

● Editing summary:

The holiday is a joy to travel by car, and preparations are made before traveling so that you can avoid accidents on the road, or even save unnecessary trouble if something happens. We need to prepare a lot of things for long-distance driving. We should not forget to check the tires. Finally, I wish you all a pleasant National Day holiday!

Water-based Canvas

Silica, often referred to as "water glass" or "liquid silica," can be used in the preparation of a sizing or primer for canvas that is intended for use with water-based paints or mediums. This is because it has good compatibility with water-based systems and can help to improve the adhesion of paint to the surface of the canvas.
Here's how you might use silica:
1. **Preparation of Silica Solution**: You'll need to prepare a solution of silica. Typically, this involves dissolving silica in water. The concentration of the solution will depend on your specific needs. A common ratio is 2 parts water to 1 part silica, but this can vary.
2. **Application**: Once you have your silica solution ready, you can apply it to your canvas using a brush or spray. The application method will depend on the viscosity of your solution and the type of canvas you're working with.
3. **Drying**: Allow the canvas to dry completely after application. The drying time will depend on the humidity and temperature of your environment. It's important to let it dry fully before proceeding to painting, as any moisture could affect the paint's performance.
4. **Use with Water-Based Paints**: After the sizing/primer has dried, you can then proceed to paint on the canvas using your chosen water-based paints. The silica should provide a good base for the paints to adhere to, improving both the durability and the vibrancy of the colors.
It's worth noting that while silica can be effective in many scenarios, there are other materials that might be more commonly used for this purpose, such as PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) or other types of sizing specifically designed for canvas. These alternatives may offer different properties, so your choice should be based on the specific requirements of your project. Always test small areas first when trying out new materials to ensure they meet your expectations.
