Yeah I was thinking I need to up the glycol a little.

I found adding the propylene glycol caused my mix to form boogers. I don't use it anymore. Windex (for the ammonia) stops the latex going off. Whe it dries out it forms a nice even coating on the inside of the tyre which provides some puncture protection even if dry.
So can we just use cheap cloudy ammonia from Coles for $2? #notachemist

I'd be worried about the detergents in cloudy ammonia having a negative effect.

Probably. I got a 5L container of the Windex from somewhere ( maybe Supercheap) and it was pretty inexpensive.
Righto, $20 at Officeworks/Bunnings seems like a pretty good deal. When I've used the 1500ml of glycol based stuff up I'll give that a crack

So I had a sealant fail tonight unfortunately.
Got a small sidewall slash and the sealant didn't seal it up.
Now, I don't want to jump to conclusions and it's no guarantee but there is a slight chance that the sealant failed because it had all dried up and I didn't have any fucking sealant in the tyre. Fuckwit.

I've always run Stan's in the past and I'm familiar with the old Stan's meteorite that forms after a period of neglect. The LBS convinced me to try Orange Seal and when I was fixing a flat today I instead found a creepy spider web situation. Is this normal for Orange Seal?
It didn't seal the flat I had, but I'm not mad, the hole basically crossed into two different postcodes.
