Product Information
Full details
The Slime Tube Sealant is designed for bicycle, dirt bike, wheelbarrow, and ride-on mower owners seeking proactive puncture prevention. Its key benefit is instantly sealing punctures up to 3mm, providing up to two years of protection. A caveat is that it is not recommended for tubeless tires or tires with Presta valves. This sealant actively works within the tire to seal punctures as they happen, offering continuous protection and peace of mind.

FAQs
How much Slime Tube Sealant should I use for my bicycle tires?

Will Slime damage my tire or rim?

What size punctures can Slime seal?

Troubleshooting
Sealant not flowing into the tire.
Ensure the valve core is fully removed. Check that the bottle nozzle is securely attached to the valve stem. If using a Presta valve, this product is not compatible.
Tire still losing air after adding sealant.
Verify the puncture is within the 3mm sealing limit. Ensure enough sealant was added for the tire volume. Ride the bike or rotate the wheel to help sealant reach the puncture. For larger punctures, a patch or new tube may be required.
Difficulty cleaning up dried sealant.
While water-soluble when wet, dried sealant may require scrubbing. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
