My Gorilla Cart tires were always losing air. I ran a test with different amounts of tire slime to see how well it fixes flat tires.

El producto funciona solo en la banda de rodadura y siempre y cuando la llanta este rotando . Por ser un producto viscoso en estado líquido si la llanta no rota el producto desaparece de las partes altas. El producto no funciona en las caras laterales de la llanta ni en el sello rin llanta. No es una prueba aceptable señor .

The problem here is not the product…it’s your poor understanding of how a tyre sealant works. If you are not frequently rotating the wheels, the sealant will just sit at the bottom and 90% of the tube’s inner surface will have only the thinnest smear of slime remaining…hence air will still slowly migrate through the rubber and your tyre pressure will drop. Rapid spinning is not required…just slow rotations, but frequently to keep the inner surface well wetted with product. It would be the same if you did a puncture test by putting a nail in the top of the tyre after it had sat immobile for a time. Trundle your little cart along a few yards a couple of times every day…then test the long term pressure drop.

I had thought the slime filled in the cracks and dried there, as opposed to staying wet and requiring more tire spinning. I have enough slime left to give it another try - thanks for the feedback!

@@projectreaDIYThe fluid doesn't fill the cracks it's just a medium for the filler which is the dark specks. The fluid carries the specks to the leak which then seal the hole hence the need to rotate the tire.

For cart & dolly tires I’ve wondered if the issue is corrosion on my wheels that interferes with a good seal on the edge of the tire wall.

Slime is not designed for "tube" tires.
