To properly use a tyre repair sealant for puncture repair, read the instructions of your specific kit.
For a general overview of how most of these products work, see these steps:
1. Read the instructions. Before starting, you should make sure to aquaint yourself with the specific instructions of your product.
2. Reposition the wheel. Rotate the wheel that requires attention and place punctured part of the tyre at top. If feasible, try and ensure the valve is as high up as possible.
3. Connect sealant. Attach the sealant container to the tyre valve. Then insert the sealant. For "all-in-one" cans, the sealant will be pushed in as the tyre re-inflates.
4. Connect compressor. This step will depend on the product you are using. Some products require that you attach the compressor to the sealant container while it is connected to the valve.
5. Inflate the tyre. Using your air compressor, inflate the tyre to the correct pressure. As recommended in the manufacturer's handbook. Keep an eye on the pressure level to ensure you do not overinflate the tyre.
Once you have followed these steps and your tyre is inflated, give it a few moments before you check the pressure again. If the pressure remains the same, then the seal has worked and you can carry on your journey. Just don't travel too far. Tyre sealants are a temporary fix. Make sure to have your tyres checked by a tyre fitter to determine what the next steps are. Replacement or repair.
