1) Is the Slime filler material latex based? 2) Does the tire stem have to be removed to install the product?

From the Slime web site: "This highly developed sealant is able to pass directly through the valve core, eliminating the need to remove the core before repairing the tire"

After extensive testing at my company, I determined that although slime worked slightly better for tubeless tires than for tubed tires. I also found that Slime was ineffective for any leak unless it was extremely tiny. Such leaks would take many hours or even days to lower the tire pressure even without Slime. The real drawback to Slime that if a tire does get low on pressure, there is a much greater danger of the tire coming off the rim when Slime is present. Because Slime is so slippery, the tire bead no longer has enough friction to stay attached to the rim. I have determined that Slime is too dangerous to use on any vehicle. This is especially true for motorcycles. After extensive testing at my company, I determined that although slime worked slightly better for tubeless tires than for tubed tires.

Remove the blue film and affix "that" side with glue to the tube, tire, etc.

Dudes, try Green Slime sold at Walmart. Buy the large gallon sizes and install it into a leaking tire. It works great. It seals leaks from the inside. Make sure to rinse the clear installation tube when storing, unless it will be useless next time you try to use it. You will also need a valve stem remover and maybe some new valve stems. They are cheap at Walmart.

Confirmed! There are tubes that are a flexible type of material. Whether its rubber, I do not know...

I think you can use latex paint, though I haven't. I use automobile paint which sometimes is thick like latex and I have no problems with it.

Rubber tires....I never had to put in them yet....they might have tubes....

No. This is the tubeless slime. You have to look for the Slime tube sealant.

Tires are rubber and good quality. Tubes are very soft rubber like material that will easily tear in your hand. One of mine was flat on arrival and could not be repaired. Plan on replacing both tubes at $10 each. Still a good buy at about $21 for entire cart.

It says "Rubber," but I do not know if there is Latex in there. Here is the Tel. Number of the Paper Mate company: 1-800-346-3278. I got it from their website. Maybe they can help you......

The cement I purchased is made to glue paper together that can be easily taken apart. This is NOT the type of glue used to repair car tires.

The pump sure looks exactly the same. The only difference is the bottle of slime tire sealant is included in the bigger zipper case (with a re-sealable nozzle top for that bottle). I'm ditching that bottle & going to try to fit a tire plug kit in instead.

Unlike the cheap stuff that is around, this solution is latex and washes out when the tire is to be repaired. The cheap goo ends up as a blob that prevents the wheel from remaining in balance. The valve is replaced when the tire is repaired.

There is a response from swissco that says it is latex free, made out of PVC

It comes with Meguiar's tire gel. A little messy to use but lasts longer than spray on products. Good product.

I bought two of them. One lasted all of six hours & broke apart into large chunks. I bought a regular tire & filled it with slime. So far it is working just fine. The second tire is still holding together (so far).

I can only say that I had two 2 inch screws puncture and embed in my rear motorcycle tire (about 4 inches apart). I injected the Slime and it sealed both holes. Having said that, I'm sure it depends on how big the holes are and how many.
