I guess its a form of heating and melting the rubber together into one piece again... similar method to what re-treading a semi tire is... this Guy has been in the tire business for 30ish years and said that vulcanizing is becoming a lost art but he'll still do it... I don't know what he would charge but he was reasonable when he mounted and balanced my tires (80 cash for all 4)
Just checked his business card and its actually "tires in motion" his name is Glenn Jansen and the shop number is 403-250-1188 and his cell is 403-862-0074
