Using it in tubes.....
I've changed my opinion in this stuff...I used it in South America in tubes and didn't get ONE puncture. I was convinced it was this stuff.
The manufactureres say you can use it in inner tubes.... Well you can !
But.. From using it in Africa I found It will only stop the TINIEST of punctures (and then only slow them down)
In larger punctures (nails, snakebites etc) , the sealant will seep out and coat the whole tube and tyre in sealant which makes roadside repairs almost impossible. No patch will stick to that mess.
The contamination by the sealant prevented it from sealing completely. You can't put pressure on the patch without the remaining sealant getting in the repair and seeping out and ruining the vulcanisation of the patch.
Thank god I had a spare tuble.
So...Once that sealant is inside your tube, it's there for good...
Once it's in there, you will have a lot of trouble patching any punctures.. If you can at all !
Complete waste of money IMO. Just take spare tubes and plenty of patches and glue.. If you have 2-3 tubes of tyre glue you still haven't got enough
I can't commment on tubeless...
