SLIME is simply a tyre sealant which coats the inside of the tyre or inner
tube with a viscous compound which seals any punctures that occur.
Its intended as an emergency repair but I have used it in my car for a few
years. You have to be careful with car usage as it can throw out the wheel
balance but in the Europa, it doesent matter if the wheel is out of balance.
Available for tubed or tubeless tyres it contains rubber granules which
combine with the sealant to fill in any punctures - it will cope with nail
size holes without problem. When there is a puncture it oozes from the hole
leaving a fluorescent trail so that you know you have a problem.
Slime is a trade name but there are other makes available which are no doubt
just as effective.
I looked on their site and they have an European catalog so I assume it is
available worldwide.
