OP thanks for the post and your honesty. We all occasionally screw up but we are much less forthcoming.

I am teaching my 12 year old daughter about the value of humility and being humble - I will use this as a good example.

Trust me, I don't need to RTFM for that as I've done it enough times and I can even do that with my eyes closed.

That sucks! OP - do you need to unmount the tire now to clean the goop out of the inside? I'd think that could throw the balance off the tire/wheel a little bit...

canukgtp · 07-31-2013, 04:53 PM

Well that sucks but thanks for the warning!

It really takes a man to man up for doing something " not smart". I can respect that.

Thanks for sharing.

Between the actual story and comments about blowing the load (white goo as stated) all over at high-pressure, I had a good laugh. Thank you for sharing and I hope you get everything situated.

See, I was thinking about that and did drive around for a while at 1:30 in the morning

I am not sure how much weight it added as I probably used a half can (and the rest on my face). Once it dries up the weight should be negligible. I was concerned about the chemical property and TPMS but TPMS seems to be working fine (did a reset and everything seems normal) my skin hasn't broken out in hives. It dried into a very the layer of rubber mask. I will probably have it cleaned though for peace of mind.
