Default Exploding Slime Tube

To make matters worse was I decided to install Maxxis Hook
Worm tires in my livingroom. I was wearing my eye glasses when
this happened and airing up to 60psi with a air hand pump. Boom
right up in my face and I blindley felt my way to the bathroom
to clean up. When I went to check on my livingroom it looked
like someone got blasted with a shootgun, only slime green splattered
everywhere with a small pool on the floor. I tried to clean it up with
a wet rag but smeared it in to the fancy curtians. When it dried it was
more easier to clean up. All for the love of a happy time.

I made it halfway out of Walmart with a bottle of that goo and stopped dead in my tracks. I'd had a blowout just that week and suddenly I had a vision of slime all o'er the place as I tried to change a tube...

As people stood and wondered what ailed me I stared at the bottle'o green glop for a mo and decided I'd take my chances with thorns, I went and put it back.


Now I'm sooo glad I did - thanks Charged-Reacter

I changed 4 tires that day. 2- SERFAS AT 60 psi and 2
Maxxis Hookworm at 60 psi. The blow out did not happen
till the 4th tire. I am s guinea pig. You made a wise choice
BarelyAWAKE. If this would have happen out in my machine
shed, I would have had a hard time making it to the house.
