Guys I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I was focusing on the pictures and assumed cut first peel later

Any update?
I’ve had an update for a while but I haven’t been able to post it due to already having three posts in a row.
Update#1: I tried the new approach on scrap tires but I don’t think either of these tires have a proper casing so the peel got closer to the middle of the tire and put a few holes in it
Update#2: I continued with the sanding method because of how far I was and started sewing.
Update#3: finished and took it on a short ride

Splicing tires seems like a great way to get some lighter weight and lower resistance tires for a 36. Do people think this will be possible with an extra light weight tire like the Schwalbe Thunder Burt?
Any updates from anyone that have done this that can speak towards the longevity of splicing tires?
I’ve had mine for almost a year, on one joint it was sewed at the ends and down the bead as well as glued and has held up perfectly, the second joint was just sewn at the ends and is showing signs of slight separation, about 3mm. I say go for it, the worst that happens is it blows up after a few months. I’d like to give you recommendations on how I did mine but the sewing pattern is really weird and hard to explain.
You can just edit previous posts / or the last post. No need to create new posts.
