[Closed] Glitter in tyre sealant

I think it actually works as I had a big screw stuck in my tyre, had to pull it out and it sealed without any of the usual pfffting that happens on the commuter. Changed my MTB tyres today and the glitter was all dried onto the inside but there was no glitter at all in the liquid sealant.
It's green glitter btw.

Comes as standard in Orange sealant. Doesn't hold Road pressures in
Anger holes, but I think it's better than no glitter.

Just put some of that Peatys sealant with glitter in, can't see why it wouldn't work, it's altogether thicker stuff mind.

It'll work, but it's the "pfffting" that causes the latex to precipitate out of the solution (it's a form of non-Newtonian shear thickening fluid) and form a plug in the puncture. So it's necessary in order for the repair to solidify and become permanent.

Having said that the OKO sealant I'm using at the moment has some particles in it.
