Got a rear wheel puncture coming down a trail at speed - unclipped one foot just in case. Slime sealed the puncture within a few seconds and I kept riding. Whole process took maybe 15 seconds and I barely lost a few mph.
I was very impressed 🙂
Then when I got back to the car and took off my top I saw that I was covered with spots of the black slime. No problem - everything goes into the wash . . .
Slime doesn't come out in the wash! Any tips before I try using "petrol" / "a hot iron & brown paper" (various advice from friends! lol)
Cheers
I am an industrial chemist, what you need to do is immerse your jersey in urine, the enzymes in the urine will break down the adhesives, soaking it for a week should do it.
stain remover like vanish or something similar, or maybe cillit bang?
Try on small area first.
slime is latex isn't it? so as above - wee wee, ammonia, isopropyl alcohol all remove dried latex - eventually, the latter being the quickest acting, but also the most flammable.
sounds silly but get an old grip, and use it like a pencil rubber
(my unkle borrowed my riding jacket while fitting out kitchen- i had remove a load of sealant from it!)
cheers guys - I will try these one by one - leaving the pee option for last I think . . 🙂
