My gut told me not to post that.
trying different materials...we dont have oh heini stuff here but im sure it is something equivalent that i am useing.
currently dont have to much time for repop stuff... so don`t expect sombrero to hit the market from my side this year.
unless clone technology makes a mayor step forward within the next weeks and i can hire two or 3 franzs to work for me.
going to work now(alone)
Definitely an opportunity to bring some type of vac formed product to market that "releases" with heat.
For you entrepreneurial minded out there: Here's your chance to make your mark and get your name on the leader board. You can be the "Sombrero Guy".
For certain a Mexican Hat Dance where you'll lose hundreds, if not thousands of dollars making tens of people very happy.
Yep, I would love to find something that would work...

Frank,
This stuff looks like it might work, but you would have to puzzle it together. Tar based and about 2mm thick and 6" wide. If you cut it in Pizza slice shaped pieces and put all the tips at the top of the crown and work your way around. Sticky on both sides, so when you were finished, cover it with cheese cloth or some other stretchy material, then I would add Baby Powder or Flour (which I am assuming would get absorbed into the black surface) to the exposed area to keep the tire from sticking to it. Roofing section of Home Depot.

The stuff looks exactly like the insulation on the floor board of my '74 coupe. I found some at a P-car shop. Heat and a leather tool work it into the floorboard crevices.
Don't have a photo handy.
Here is the tool. http://www.tandyleather.com/en/produ...ly-roller-tool
The challenge is not only to achieve the consistency of the tar material but to also get the proper checkerboard pattern.
SEMI BOB, thanks for tip but I'm afraid that Jiffy Seal won't cut the mustard. The original stuff has a fiber in it. I don't believe the cheese cloth would simulate that.
