Frostbike 2018: New Tires, Shoes, and Sealant
@Gregorysmithj1: I suspect this stuff doesn't seal very well. There are already a handful of automotive and bike sealants that don't dry up. They don't seal anything either. They contain a lot of preservatives. They are inert which means they don't polymerize or cure or have any chemical reaction. They have materials that will clog a small hole,, like I clog my toilet in the morning. A clog is not a strong or permanent seal like latex that polymerizes and vulcanizes. Stans has a lot of preservatives, ammonia as anticoagulant and glycols to slow dry out and they retard the latex from doing it's job. It's a paradox and you can't have it both not dry out and cure on demand.
