I wouldn't deflate in completely. Deflate it but leave enough air to keep the rim off the ground. Use the whole can. Follow the directions for driving around for a while, then check your air pressure. Chances you will need to add more air.

The bottle of slime you are looking at should be enough for 15 to 20 bicycle tires, or 7 - 10 car tires. It really comes down to the size of your tires. I recommend starting with an ouns or two, then add some of need be. Slime pretty well. It helps to locate the leak, then make sure slime gets to that area (turn and tilt the wheel).

First, the question I have is what type of tire are you using it on? I would not use it on any automotive tire! Lawn equipment, dollies,etc have been the type of equipment I have used slime on and found if treated properly according to directions results have been excellent. For reasons of safety I would never use it on high speed equipment. Tires on cars & trucks need to be kept in balance or you will cause wear and on the tire and possibly wear to bearings and other components. I would never use it on car and truck tires as it may settle inside the tire unevenly and cause out of balance conditions. First, the question I have is what type of tire are you using it on?

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

just use it as it is....don't mess around with it by diluting it with water or any other liquid! Use it sparingly....don't DROWN the floor with it and create a little "river". Just use it LIGHTLY.

I am not certain that I understand what you want to do. Great Stuff is a foam and does not have any real structural strength. It is just a foam like stuffing marshmallow in the gap. It will fill a gap but if you hit it with anything it will just tear and break off parts of the foam.

I used that gumy stuff LOL it worked great and was able to save it to reuse it. Hope this helps

My husband used his air compressor. Any gas station would have one for tires. Maybe you could try that for free? I even use this great exercise ball at my desk to get exercise while typing away!

Aren't tubeless types on a bike mainly for speed and less weight. The Slime product is heavy and in essence would defeat any weight savings dollars spent to that end. (and the tyre is the last place on the bike you want extra weight.) I would just repair my tyre as recommended by the manufacturer...isn't that sewing the hole up? Not sure.

I am unsure if it is ok for tube tiresI do know they make the same formula for bicycles and they are tube. I suggest looking on Slimes website and contacting them directly

you'll want to use an aircompressor, you can find on at a gas station or tire center. Good chance one of your handyman neighbors has one.

I use air from an air compressor. Just blow from every direction. This will get most of the junk out.

I believe I used our tire pump that hooks up to the car's lighter but only because it was quicker. Have to be very careful that you don't over fill it. It comes with a pump.

You need to be able to disperse the filler. I think you could put little in and then add water.

I have in past. The key is to get the stuff in and start driving right away to spread the sealant inside the tire. I wanted to be sure to have enough pressure rather than not enough in a pinch. I can always reduce the pressure later. My tires go up to 42 so after a few minutes of conservative driving I check the pressure. I wouldn't try it on an already questionable tire, of course, such as a sidewall puncture. I've used this stuff on mower and wheel barrow tires also but I use the smaller size, in those cases, of course. I also have a mobile air pump that runs off my battery. Well worth it and if you have any worries about using the truck inflator version, you can always fall back on the air pump after using the smaller one, if necessary. Get a decent quality pump. It's great and they are relatively small too. Hope this helps.
