(Bit off-topic) I got curious about this and did some reading. Apparently in other countries, what we call "vulcanizing" is simply "patching tires". Vulcanization is actually the process of making raw rubber (you know, the sap from rubber trees) an elastic solid by having it bind with other chemicals, usually sulfur. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcanization
