That’s confetti. Just sayin’.

You first. Start a thread about your experience.

I'd still like to know why anyone wants to add anything to their sealant.

I mean, if adding some common item would actually improve a sealant's performance, I assume the manufacturer would have included it.

Who doesn't love a little glitter? C'mon, admit it...

Everyone who has ever had to clean up the detritus.

Heh. My wife and I raised two daughters. I know about this...

The "ATV" slime has very little latex. It's intended for slow leaks. The bike stuff has a lot of latex like the other bike sealant brands and can seal pretty big punctures.

Not sexuality thank you very much.

There has been so much written about Stan’s not sealing well, or orange or... take your pick, that was looking for a solution (so to speak) to aid rapid sealing. I had a cut in my tubeless about 2/16ths and the Stan’s spewed until the tire was completely flat. I would think that small a cut should self-heal with a latex product. Unrealistic?

So if I add hair, fine coffee grounds (found here daily), or fine cornmeal to Stan’s (roadbike) or Orange (mtn bike) it should help without resorting to becoming a chemist.

Don't have a dog or cat? Save the stubble when you clean out your shaver.

Great! Now we’re all gonna have glitter on us.

Seems like more natural sawdust would work also.

If it turns out there's a market for cat hair, I could retire early.

rsbob 

good idea. Never a mention of quantity of fur, stubble, lint etc. A handful?

I have a cat and a non-shedding dog, so the cat will have to do extra duty.

Do you do a sweeter or more savory tire sealant? I like a good jalapeño corn meal sealant

Koyote

Use Orange Seal, and keep the sealant topped up; if you get a puncture that doesn't immediately seal, then rotate the tire so that the puncture is at the bottom so the sealant can pool up. As a last resort, use your plugs.

If sealant worked better with glitter in it, they would put glitter in it.

i'm sure the tubeless honks/advocates would be thrilled to death...sure, add glitter.

AdkMtnMonster

Adding glitter makes sense if the OP is patching up his blowup doll. Standard practice.

Danhedonia

I always thought the biking world was the VD of the world world. No?

How is dog hair and lint able to flow inside the tire, enabling it to gravitate to the hole in order to fill it? Maybe I'm picturing this incorrectly with respect to how it is applied to the sealant. Seems to me any additive would need to be in small particle form such as the ground walnut shells mentioned above in order to really mix with the sealant.

I'll let you know soon. I finally got my tire mounted to the rim. I applied a double-wrap of tape. Who knew bicycle wheels were Fermions? That in turn (get it?) required soapy water to get the tire to seat, even with the compressor, but it has held air without sealant for 3 days now. Eventually, I will add sealant, and stuff individual dog hairs down the valve stem.

Here is my secret recipe: Two parts Panaracer sealant, one part Orange seal, and a clump of golden retriever hair:

I'm just gonna stick a miniature poodle in each tire.

I'm thinking Unicorn poop might work...

They do put glitter in it (Stan's race sealant), but it costs twice as much. They call the glitter "sealing crystals".

Koyote

Well, those are obviously special magic crystals. Not glitter!

tyrion

Those are just marketing terms. The technical term is "chunks of stuff".
