I am a proponent of Sline and its work alikes. It usually works for me. Recently I Slimed a wheelbarrow tire and it was flat the next day. A couple days later I Slimed it again AND... noted the air leak was coming from one of the "whiskers" on the side wall. I turned the barrow over on its side to get some slime on THE spot and it sealed immediately. Whether or not the Slime would have ever "found" the hole is unknown but... Apparently I was too lazy the first time and could have easily found the location on the sidewall where I needed to get the slime.
I used to get lots of thorn leaks on my front tires from locusts and such. With slime it is as if there are no thorns.

I must be doing something wrong. I never had any luck with Slime on fixing a leak. All I ever get it to do is slime out all over my garage floor. I have never tried it on anything other than wheel barrow tires and as someone said, just go buy a new one for $7.50 (I think they said $5 but at my Home Depot they cost more) That is much better than trying to fix a leaky tire and cheaper.

Agree, w-o-r-s-t f-i-s-h e-v-e-r........
Actually a buddy of mine who grew up in La Loche (same level of northern-ness as Fort Mac on the Sask side) grew up eating them. He was raised traditional Dene Cree and they eat them all the time.
I personally can't stand Jackfish. They remind me of alligators - too many teeth and too small a brain!!!
Now pickerel on the other hand.... mmmmmmm.....

Well I have to say that I like the slough shark. Great fun to catch and if you get a 20 pounder, good eating. Taste just like chicken. Actually I fixed some Pike and walleye for one of my USA friends and she preferred the Pike to the walleye. As for Pickerel, lots of Canadians refer to walleye as pickerel, but the official Canadian fisheries guide says the pickeral are a species of PIKE. First time I tried to fillet a pike, I almost ruined my fillet knife cutting through the Y boned. I tried every way to cut it and always ended up with bones, finally threw the whole carcass to the bears and started over after noting how the bone structure was. The slime on it is worse than any catfish ever and it smells almost as bad as skinning a skunk, but the meat is very tasty,with a firmer texture than the Walleye. You just have to work harder for it.
