Tire sealant for bladder?

Post by gladegp »

I just thought of it. If anyone is having trouble sealing their bladders maybe bike tire sealant could be an option.
Bike tires are usually run at about 20-35 psi but can go up to 55 psi.

Demonstration:



Can be bought here, or at any bike shop:

I put tire slime in mine and drained most of it. I had some hose that was sweating, hundreds of pinholes. I also had some small leaks around the clamps at the end.

It fixed the pinholes no problem, but I still get some leaks on the ends. The ends would seal, but after a few cycles it starts to leak again.

This stuff might be different though.
