    This 8 oz. container of preventative tire sealant protects against tread-area punctures in tubeless and tube-type tires.

    • When punctures occur, Slime already in the tire creates a permanent flexible plug which lasts up to 2 years
    • Can also be used to repair flat tires after the fact
    • Sealant is non-toxic, non-flammable and biodegradable
    • 8-ounce bottle

    Product not recommended for Presta tubes - try the Slime Tube and Slime Lite Tube.

    Made in USA.

            Comments about Slime Tire Sealant - 8 oz.:

            Use this stuff! Here's how I do it. Use Slime inside the innertube and a tire liner together! This will stop 90% of your flats. I ride ALOT and have for many years and the combination of these two has saved my butt more times than I can count! If a thorn or any sharp object somehow does make it through or around the tire liner it then has to contend with the healing powers of the Slime. Your tire may lose a small amount of air during the healing process but you can easily ride to where ever you need to in order to top off the innertube with air. Adds a little bit of weight to your ride but worth it. Ride On!!

                  This is the most awful stuff I've ever used! It claims to seal punctures up to 1/8 inch. My puncture was much smaller than that - the only thing it did was help me find the puncture via the green stuff oozing out of the hole. However, at that point you'll just need a new tube. Forget trying to use a patch. This stuff destroys the adhesive and nothing will stick. It also destroyed the adhesive on a perfectly good patch, causing it to come off too.

                        I have used Slime for many thousands of miles here in the Tucson area desert. I have never had any valve problems. After filling the tube with Slime I clean the area with a Q-tip before reinstalling the valve.

                            I used this stuff on two shraeder tubes. A few months later, I found that it clogged up one of the two valves and caused my pump valve to stick to the tube valve.

                            When I tried to pull off, the tube valve basically disintegrated.

                            The REI bike mechanic recommended against using this for just this reason BEFORE I bought this product. I should have heeded his warning.

                            This product is not well thought out and should not be used by consumers.

                            If you want Slime, just get the Slime Tube. The Slime Tube works well.

                            Bottled Slime can damage your tube.
