How’s that title to keep me out of trouble?

This morning I saw a show on NAT Geo about Mega Factories.
They were showing some of the IKEA factories and how one lady stuffed pillows into the outside upholstery covering for couches.
She explained that she used a thin sheet of plastic to make it easier to slide things together and then removed the plastic.
I couldn’t help but think about how much easier it is to mount T tires when using a plastic bag.

I love the little things that make life easier! :-)

Geez Fred, when I first read your post I thought you were describing my front yard.

Couple of years back, someone was recommending that.
Had pics to on how to do it.

Standard when replacing car upholstery on head rests. Strip off the old, slip a plastic bag over the foam and the new stuff slips on like "buttah". The tire business was covered a few years ago. Try Youtube.

I tried the plastic bag trick when mounting my tires.
Was a bad idea for me cause I spent lots of time trying to pick all the pieces of the plastic bag out from under the tire and rim. Never did get it all out. Might work on a tire size other than a 30 X 3. I'll use the old way. Looked like a great idea on Utube though but my NonSkids are much harder to get on.
