If I top it off monthly with another 1.5 ounces, after a year, the tire will probably weigh a pound more with all the dried sealant. However someone did say to add fresh in it to keep the existing from congealing. Will have to try that. May have to set a monthly reminder on the phone.
The solids content in the sealant is pretty light. A few years ago, I made a point of not peeling any snake skins from a particular tire, and letting it accumulate, so that I could see how much it weighed at the EOL. It was one of the better snakes skins that I've experienced, myself, but the weight was still miniscule. For the non-metrically minded, 28g is an ounce.
