Can you use the tire repair product "Slime" in a water filled tire?
Of course you can use "slime" in a water filled tire. 8) I don't think it would stop any leaks though. :( I really don't know since I have never heard of it used that way. :-\
Ok there smarty pants. Thanks for the help Bob. :D Does anyone know if you can "efectively" use slime in a water filled tire?

Try some slime in a jar of water, shake it up, and watch/see if the slime will coat the sides of the jar....or if it just mixes with the water. Might give you an idea.
Does the water in the tire lead you to where the leak is? ::) ::)
Good one Pigman :D
LeeB, No you would need to drain it and fill with Slime for the weight. It turns all gunky in water.

Wouldn't hurt to check it. It has been quite a few years since my testing. ;) They may have changed the formula.
The water leads to a lot of leaks. These tires most likely carried the old tractor off the line in 1952 when it was built. They leak like a screen door.
Reddog, for that much slime, at $30 a gallon, I think new tires would be cheaper. I would imagine you are right about it not working. The jug says it cleans up with water.

Get a gemplers catalog, they have all kinds of stuff for tractor tires. Putting tubes in old tires sometimes doesn't work because the tubes will pinch in the cracks. You may want to put in tubes and protectors. They make them out of old tractor tires, grind all the tread off and take the bead off they double the rubber . Course after you go to all that trouble you might want to get new tires or a pair of used onesa from a tractor junkyard.

I would say no. Density is critical. That stuff needs to stay pretty chunky to function. It has worked great when used as intended here on our place.

How about ground pepper it use to work in the radiator of my old GMC.
