Another term for vulcanizing is 'section repair'. Tire shops that do this repair use commercially available 'sections'; pieces of rubber with cords already molded into them and cured. A 'section' that has the thickness and number of plies to best work with the construction of the particular tire they are repairing is selected. A concave area is ground out around the damaged spot on the inside and outside of the tire. The 'section' is ground, making a convex area on the surface to fit the concave area on the inside of the tire. Raw rubber is placed in between, and the 'section' is anchored to the tire. On the outside of the tire, the hole and the concave area is filled with raw rubber, building it up higher than the level of the tread around it. All of this is 'cooked' (heated) until it is cured. The outside is ground and/or grooved to match the rest of the tread. Due to the heat and friction generated in highway-speed tires, this procedure is better for off-road applications such as construction and agriculture. My description here is a layman's viewpoint. For more info, use a search engine such as Google and search for '"section repair" tires'.
