Has anyone used tyre sealant? I have a ride-mower, no very money saving but have a large garden and it was inherited, it has a slow puncture. Can you use tyre sealant when you already have a puncture or do you have to get it mended first? Does anyone know how you jack up a mower? Any recomendation for a sealant please.

    There are the compressed cans (like aerosol cans) which you can use as an emergency sealant - that is designed to get you to the next available service spot/garage to get the tyre replaced. And I say replaced because garages have major problems trying to repair tyres which have this yukky goo squirted on the inside :rotfl:

    Not sure about a garden mower, I guess you could try though be aware this could possibly scupper any chances of repairing it normally in the event it doesn't solve the puncture...

    If you can find the source of a leak you could try a bicycle puncture repair kit, otherwise you may need to get a replacement tyre.

    Most tyre and exhaust places can do repairs on ride on mowers.

    Give it a try, you're not likely to have a high speed blow out !!!
