The classic way – a wood stand, a clamp, and and a used engine piston. To patch the tube, fuel is poured in the piston, lighted and the clamp is tightened until the rubbers are cooked. Takes 5 to 10 minutes to do the job. Current rate for a motorcycle tire is 20 pesos. A 6-foot tall payloader tire costs 1000 pesos to vulcanize.
The hitech way – This one uses an old flatiron instead of the piston and runs on electricity. I saw this one at San Luis.

I had a flat tire last night at San Luis and this electric thing in the picture did my tubes. There were 6 holes in my scooters interior and that machine sealed them all in less than 20 minutes. Great pinoy hack. Any more pinoy hackery out there, just give me a hoot!
