Ultraseal Tire Sealant -- Commercial-grade 1-gallon - GEMPLER'S

Anyone used this before? Just wondering if it's useful

O yeah. Havent used that particular one, but its probably better than Green Slime. All seal punctures well but degrade after extended use to the point that the leak will resume if the item is parked for a long time with the puncture up. Sealing of rim leaks is less sure.

I have a wheelbarrow with some quite porous chinese tires on them.. I'd tried to seal the insides with stuff like fixaflat.. will see how that works.. if not.. i may slime them.. if that fails.. guess I got to tube the lil suckers...

I use the next grade up the "bulletproof".
It costs a little more but I cant find it any cheaper than gemplers.
Anyhow, I have put it in my last two kubotas and a bobcat skid steer, pickup trucks before they started putting in the tire sensors.
They claim a 1/2" hole will seal or a .223 round, I have not tried shooting the tires but all else seems to seal.
Never had a flat or a leak since I started using it.
I usually buy the 5 gallon jugs and put it in all the stuff I have, think I have it in everything.
I improvise on their hand pump, I refuse to pay $200.00 to pump in $300.00 worth of spooge.
