Yes, that's right.
It was first demonstrated to me by Tony (tony) & is very effective. You do need quick hands though as the vapour dissapates quickly. I used to do this quite often when 4x4ing in my POS but I now use tyre bead sealant which helps hold the tyre to the rim.

BTW Ron, that was a quick edit to remove the petrol comment - even I'm not that stupid (close though ).



Also, the hair spray comes in handy for those camping trips where my voluptuous locks don't want to stay in place in the mornings .

Lantern details please (brand, model, source), sounds much better than a gas unit.

Its the latest incarnation of the petromax unit.
