A mechanic friend got fix-a-flat in his eyes while breaking a bead on
a tire. He eventually recovered, but he was out of work for a
while.

If you ever use that stuff, be sure to warn anyone who ever works on
the tire.


fix a flat IS some nasty stuff. It also has ammonia in it. If it's
been in a tire more than a few hours, the tire interior will most likely
become unrepairable.
