slime

Quoted message said:

The bigest problem with slime is if you get a cut too big
for the slime to seal you cant put a patch on the tube the
slime interferes chemicaly with the glue it is not enough
to let the slime dry.

The trick is to clean the area around the cut with a good
solvent before attempting the patch. A fluid sold as "rubber
buffer" works great, but on the road I carry physician's
ethyl alcohol wipes, and they work well, too.

Sorry I tried to start a new thread I should have checked to
see if there was already a slime thread. Thanks for the tip.
The carrier in slime is antifreeze dogs will sometimes drink
antifreeze and it kills them maybe they can find a
substitute.
