Troubleshooting

Sealant isn't working.

Ensure the puncture is not too large. Check if the valve core is clear and not blocked. Rotate the tyre to ensure the sealant reaches the puncture site.

Tyre won't inflate after sealant application.

Check the valve for blockages. Ensure the sealant bottle is properly attached and being squeezed correctly. The puncture might be too large; in this case, seek professional assistance.

Sealant leaking after application.

The puncture might be too large or located in a critical area (sidewall). Drive slowly to distribute the sealant, but seek professional assistance as soon as possible. The sealant may not be able to fully seal the puncture and further damage could occur.
