Tire flat inflation and seal products do work however they are for emergency use only, Akers told me. We find they can cause irreparable damage to the rim of the tire youre repairing.
Really ?
How would they damage the rim?
The gunge covers the entire rim inside the tyre and can't be removed without a lot of work.
It prevents the new tyre from seating, hence it leaks between tyre and rim. Also leaks round the valve.
There was once a further gunge product to repair leaks of this sort due to corrosion on the rim but its now been banned. Dunno why.
