How to fix an inner tube filled with Slime?
Hi
I've got a heavy duty inner tube in the front that's got Slime inside. Unfortunately I punctured it right at the beginning with a tyre lever (how did I manage that), fixed it with a patch and no problems for a few thousand kilometers until it went flat in Romania. So I fixed it again but it worked only for 200 meters. So I changed another tube and saved this one for a later repair. Which I did here in Jordan and tried to be extra careful with it, cleaned it very well with a solvent and scraped it good before putting on a patch. This was a few days ago. Yesterday I decided to change the tyres so I installed that repaired inner tube back on. It worked well then but went flat again today.
So does anyone know if there's any secret in repairing an inner tube with Slime inside? And how come Slime doesn't fix it since the hole is not that big? I'm getting pretty frustrated changing tubes on the side of the streets here in Amman.
