to seal or not to seal, that is the question, whether tis nobler...

OK, sorry I referenced 'fix-a-flat' in the post title, but we all learn as we go, yknow, that's what this forum does best.

tire sealant, it is. watch out for the pudding. got it.

seems like the tension created by vendors recommending their products could be tempered by erring on the side of discretion in the recommendation, ya? just a thought... from one who understands how a person could take umbrage with info that could be taken as a sales pitch...

single-axle trailers really NEED a flat-avoiding strategy, I believe, hence my post. especially if you're pushing toward that state park at sunset and don't like setting up in the dark. a flat could really ruin your night...and possibly your trailer.

since I'm nowhere near Inland Andy and his Super Snap On Tool I'm also gonna be posting soon about alternative wheel/drum/hub balancing strategies and I DON'T want to get anyone flamed up, just to clarify some conflicting/confusing conclusions in my re/search.

this forum still rocks, even when the Marshalls are cranked up to ten and slightly overheating.... ride on.. with gratitude, to the many alumi-gurus..

yep, i agree.

and that's why we mentioned using these liquid sealants originally.

the products all pool, some are the consistency of buttermilk +/- based on how much water/glycol is in the mix...

the local bmw motorbike dealer and the h-d shop each carry a different brand.

given where you live, some local nola gravy might work!

cheers
