It works a treat! So I thinned it down a fair bit more than 2:1 to get what I thought was 'about' the right runniness.... I didn't think it was going to succeed, because when I was sloshing it around, it looked a bit like jelly, and wasn't sticking to the sides of the bottle, so I thought it wouldn't stick to the inside of the tyre either.
I have an old pair of very light XR0's, that are full of holes and little splits than Joe's wouldn't seal. When I put this one in and added the jollop, it was pissing air out of a split about 4mm.... I turned the tyre so the split was at the bottom, and it instantly sealed! It hasn't lost any pressure overnight and seems fine..... I'll know better when I test ride on Tuesday!
