I read some where how to make your own tubeless brew. I think it is One part latex one part slime one part antifreeze. Has anyone tried to do this, and what is the best brew?

My current mix is 1 part ATV slime, 2 parts RV antifreeze, and 1 part latex mold builder. If I remember correctly the order of adding ingredients is latex followed by Slime folowed by AF (makes thinning the latex easier, or something).

You can buy the latex mold builder at Michaels but it's a little spendy. I have heard of people who use a tube of latex caulk from Wally World for about $2.

The antifreeze is not the same stuff you use in your radiator (which contains nasty shit), it's the one used in RVs and boats to prevent water lines from freezing. It's available at some Wally Worlds for about $4/gal. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-RV ... e/17179674

As for the "best" brew, I've been pretty happy with the one I use, which I got from here if you have a few days to read a super long thread:: http://forums.mtbr.com/29er-components/ ... 06115.html
There are some really ingenious concoctions using "non-proprietary" ingredients in the last third or so of that thread. Xantham Gum? I just bought a bag of that for my daughter's school cooking assignment.

I just use women's breast milk, but she must be on an Atkin's diet. Atkin's diet increases the protein quantity in the milk, causing it to aggregate and work better as a sealant.

This thread is why I don't stop to help anyone on the trail when they have a burped tire or sidewall gash...

Don't get it unless you you don't like breast milk. Please elaborate on why you don't help anyone on the trail. I was going to try orange seal but have heard the home brew works better than anything.
