tested here vs a few others...

seems ok, but i prefer tufo extreme, it's chunky and seems most reliable - i neither know not care whether it contains ammonia, it works fine in veloflex with latex tubes and i've not noticed any degradation in the tubes of tubs that have been sealed, eventually worn out and then been cut open to harvest for patches etc.

I am using for over 4 years... It is ammonia free and latex free. It is very easy to clean it and it works!!!! The only thing is that you have to check it every couple of months

I've used it, and in my experience, there are better sealants out there. If just using a straight sealant, the Bontrager brew is ammonia free and works well. The current Stan's brew is claimed to be ammonia free, and if mixed with a some Slime (3:1 ratio), it makes a pretty good homebrew.

I went finally with Stan's . Found people's experience using it with same rims wo any issues .

I'm using "butterfly" tape ( very successfully with Stan's milk) for a while, so it was some idea to follow same manufacturer with sealant. But mixed reviews and nessecity of importing it ( read "wait" :evil: ) instead of availability is every second store locally ( like Stan ) make me re-think.

Even EM adverts make me confused… 20 sec for sealing … there's no air to seal anymore :mrgreen: Or maybe I get it wrong ? ( watched late night ..)
