I have a one eighth in hole in my tube. It goes all the way through. is this a good application for your product.

I found a product at Lowe's worked better, and matched the tub better. We had a hole that went through ours too.

I made a small hole that only the needle can enter straight & covered it w/ the label sticker of the cartridge (the hole is beneath the sticker). You can use a simple tape glue (not liquid glue) or a sticker. I think it's better to do, as in time it drys fast.

The recommended hole size is 1 3/4 I had a 1 7/8" hole saw and tried it with an old sour cream tub to see if I could use that and not have to buy another hole saw. Have had no problems with the 1 7/8 hole in my hydroponics setup.

That is exactly where my leak was. Product worked for me...follow directions.My leak is gone. Check out you tube presentations.

This was exactly my application and the Slime tube works fine. You do have to hang on to the valve stem so you don't lose it. I could not get the tube and stem to line up so my valve stem is not accessible since I inflated the tube and promptly lost the stem (inside the tire and wheel). That was a year and a half ago and the tube has not lost any air.

Hose works well with no issues. If your jar does not seal, ensure that the foodsaver gasket that seals bags is properly installed as mine kept getting sucked into the foodsaver. This has nothing to do with tube.

Update, I'm running 32mm confidentials and have put five tubes in now. Its just the front. The foam tape failed, the velux French rim tape walked twice or more and now I'm trying drilling/chasing the little holes (4near valve stem +2 ) and using the red protector from old rim.

I've been using it by hand (not brush) with much success. I love this stuff (I've had family visit and leave with a request for info about it.)You only need a super small amount even this way (like pea-sized). I'm about a year into this tube and only about 1/3 through it.

The holes are very fine. I haven't used it for anything but black tea but I don't think I've ever had anything get through it, except a little fine sediment, which you would even get with a tea bag. I really like mine and have not regretted the purchase. Good luck.

That depends. Are you plugging a hole, or reattaching a loose flap? If the latter, it should be fine for a while. It hardens with a certain flexibility, so it should work. Dunno firsthand, though.

i suppose so. it is good stuff. it is probably not the best for filling holes, but good for sealing leaks and small gaps.

Maybe it's a bad batch of formula. Or time: the time it takes for the "stink" to activate at my 6900 elevation is a few days. You probably know a pinch of local dirt is required with the liquid in the bag -- this last time a clod clogged the hole, and I didn't see it until the next day. If your problem happened to me, I would try the manufacturer (go right to the top) and let him/her decide what to do. They want their product to bring happiness to all concerned (except the flies), and want to find solutions to problems like yours.

As a user of this product for many years, I've learned that a little goes a long way. I'd recommend you reduce the amount you use ~ go from a nickel size to pea size. Bet you'll like it a lot better!

That is the best way I know. Trying to pinch off the tube, or pulling out and raising the other end could result in some spilled gas -- danger! But this hasn't been an issue for me. This product works well as long as you are careful pulling out the correct end of the tube when you have enough fuel. It just takes a little thought the first time.

Hi. I bought these beads last year & the hole does go all the way through the bead. I haven't used them yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I hope I was able to answer your question.

If a tire has a an inch long cut I would say it is rendered perilous and should not be used. However, in a pinch, you could put multiple plugs in the cut and it will seal and work. I picked up a razor in my tire once, I put, if I remember correctly, three plugs in the slit and it has not leaked for months. I will not be surprised if it starts to leak again, but it is fixed for now, so I don't care. Yes, it will probably work, no it is not advisable. I would do it to my own tire but not to someone else's.
