More thoughts about Tips to apply slime

Instructions:
1. Get newspaper/sale paper to cover the floor. Especially if you have carpet floor. Hardwood, Linolin, bricks etc are probably ok. This is just to make clean up easy.
2. Open the slime bottle, pull the security seal off.
3. Use the valve removal tool on the top of the bottle to remove valve.
4. Be careful of the valve, when you are removing it, air will be released from the tire and it is possible that the valve will fly out.
5. Connect the plastic tube to the bottle
6. Rotate the tire so that the valve hole is between 9 to 11 o'clock or 1 to 3 o'clock. See my other blog entry on which tire to do first.
7. Connect the plastic tube to the valve hole
8. Squeeze the bottle to apply slime. Don't squeeze half the bottle in (even if you can tell how much is half bottle). Squeeze a couple times, let it set, squeeze a couple more times, let it set again. Also try to distribute the slime evenly by rotating the wheel, remember to screw the valve in before you rotate, then repeat until you get half bottle in.
9. There are a few ways that you could tell if it is half bottle. Open the cap of the bottle and peek in. Or try to squeeze approximately the same amount each time then alternate between the front and rear tire. This is more troublesome because you have to screw the valve back every time. This alternate front and rear method is unproven, so try at your own risk.
10. Screw the valve on when you are done.
11. Pump the tire to the desired pressure.
12. Rotate the tire many many times again or ride it for a while to make sure the slime is distributed evenly inside the tire.
13. Do the other tire or if you alternate between both tires, you are done.
14. Viola, you are done and clean up.

See my other blog entry for the interesting experience since I might not have explain the reason behind all the steps here.

Good Luck, God Bless, JC
