Slime Question

[evsolutions]

I had my 1st flat in years a few days ago (559mm Avocet Cross) and had to do
something I have not tried in years (walk) the bent. I have never tried
Slime and never bothered reading about it...no flats kinda makes you think
you are bulletproof.

IF I used Slime after my tire blew (95 psi), would the Slime give me this
much or nearly the much tire pressure. I'd only need it to get home. I have
long since given up carrying a MAFAC kit with spare tubes & if SLIME does
the job...I'd try it.

PS had new spokes installed and the lbs skimped and ignored the TUFFY....100
yards from the bike shop the tube blew.

Along the same line, what about using the "thorn-proof" tubes I see in
the bike catalogs. Though in this case, I'm not so sure they would've
helped because ot appears they are thicker on the bottom & sides only.

I use Slime in my 3 bikes and trailor and have done for several years.
You can end up with multiple punctures and not know about it untill
you change tube/tire !
I wouldn't go on a trip wihout it.
Have to use Schrader valves and not Presta.
