The first and most frequent part of a tie to wear out is the hole securing the spike. Over time, constant stress combined with the natural deterioration of the wood will loosen the spike. The hole becomes bigger. The rest of the tie may have a number of years left, but it is useless without the ability to secure the spike. Tie replacement is costly and timely. Tight Spike is a simple yet superior Urethane System that restores railroad ties by securing the spike for many years to come.
