In MTB tubes their fine but in Road tubes the PSI is too high and the Slime goo won't seal a puncture once you air above about 65psi; the higher psi just blows the goo out of even the smallest of holes even after it sealed below 65psi for awhile...as soon as you air above 65 it just blows the sealed hole and you have a leak again and a green mess inside your tire and rim.
