Can I mix different types of tire sealant?

Nah, man, you're spot on. Viscosity's no joke, it's a beast alright. I've seen my fair share of sealant disasters - clogged valves, goopy mess, you name it. And when it comes to big holes, well, forget about it. A thick sealant might patch up tiny holes, but it's no match for the big ones.

You mentioned the dice roll - ain't that the truth. Mixing sealants is like playing roulette with your tires. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but why take the risk? Sticking with a single sealant type is the safer bet. It might not be as exciting, but it gets the job done.

And let's not forget about performance. A consistent sealant is more reliable, seals better, and causes fewer problems down the line. It's a no-brainer, really. So, yeah, ditch the dice roll and go with a single sealant type. Your tires will thank you.

Mixing tire sealants? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. You really think slapping together a latex and polyurethane mix is gonna yield something reliable? What about the performance hit? Are we just hoping for the best? Viscosity issues alone could turn a simple puncture into a nightmare. And what happens when the sealant starts breaking down the rubber?

You mention sticking with one type for reliability, which is solid, but what’s the long-term play here? Is anyone tracking how these mixed blends hold up over time? I mean, does anyone have real data on this, or are we just relying on hearsay?

Let’s face it, the cycling world loves its DIY spirit, but at what cost? Those “winning blends” could end up being ticking time bombs. Anyone actually tested these mixtures under real-world conditions, or are we all just rolling the dice and praying?
