Anyone made their own tyre sealant? Did it work?
If it did work, what recipe did you use?

What about something to bulk it up and seal punctures? I've read about folk using glitter or grated rubber?

cafe latex uses used coffee grounds i believe.

Or just use stans, £20 for a bottle and it lasts a couple of years of tyre changes across three bikes for me!

grated rubber

I thought it'd be a good idea to grind up the knobblies someone cut off a wetscream & add them to tubeless goop.

It wasn't.

Killed the blades of my spice grinder instantly 😕

Mark Datz always used to reckon that duk down (from a duk) was the stuff to use. Actually, if you could chop it up into small pieces, it's probably not a bad idea.
