Troubleshooting
Sealant not injecting into tyre
Ensure the valve core is fully removed and the nozzle is securely attached to the valve stem. Check for any blockages in the nozzle.
Tyre not inflating after application
The puncture may be too large or in an unsuitable location (e.g., sidewall). Check for leaks and ensure the tyre is inflated to the correct pressure using an external air source if necessary. This product is a temporary fix and may not work on all punctures.
Sealant leaks after driving
The sealant may not have properly cured or the puncture is larger than the sealant can handle. Drive to a safe location immediately and seek professional assistance.
