Homebrew Sealant - How To Make Your Own Tyre Sealant, Quickly And Easily

Why pay more for less? 🚴‍♂️ We’re heading into the lab to cook up some homemade tubeless sealant! Using ingredients that cost a fraction of the price of commercial brands, we’ve created over 1.2 liters of sealant for under £15. We talk safety, mixing ratios, and even add a "secret ingredient" to help plug larger holes. If you love a bike hack and saving money, this one is for you!
