The stuff's called 'tyreweld', but I'm not sure if you can use it on bicycles though?
Ah, wait. They do a special version here:

Probably just as cheap to buy a new inner tube.
Inner tube repair kits are even cheaper though, and really easy to use.

Just fix them. Easiest is to stick new tubes in especially if they're old/cheap tubes that are in.
If you can't manage that how are you building a car?

<<<< on the road in 1999 ??
10 years on the road, in fact so long ago i cant remember how to build !
and as i said, daughter owes me 1000's so im not funding two inner tubes, but i dont mind fitting them
AND DAUGHTER IS 27, if it had been for my Grandson, i wouldnt have even thought about any cost

check the tyre for alien objects, usually easier by running your finges over the inside of the tyre.
beware you don't cut yourself.

Milk, unscrew the valve and pour some milk in then get her to keep spinning them for an hour or so while it turns into cheese. Would be better to do
on a sunny day though.
How's that for locost? 28p for a pint isn't it?

Surely if no one can be bothered to pay a whole £2ish for a puncture repair kit you may as well just stick it in and if it doesn't work you can
argue about why no one could be bothered to spend £2 to do it properly afterwards!

I am fairly certain that she can sue you for all you've got if you don't repair this adequately for her. I suggest a new tube. This is the
easiest solution if you won't do the find-the hole-provided-it's-the-only-one, patch/glue procedure.

Tell her to get a puncture repair kit and you will show her how to do it.

Be *very* careful depending on your area, on a few occasions I've found broken off hypodermic needles in bike tyres.
