Dayum.

I usually added a water bottle full. Just grab a tube that fits over the valve-stem, drill an undersize hole for the tube in a cheap ass water bottle cap, insert tube in bottle, remove valve core, place tube over valve stem, invert water bottle and either squeeze if you're impatient, or hang it there and come back later.
 
Bought another gallon of Gemplers today. had great success with it last season. Took about a 1/3 of a gallon on 33 Blasters and no leaks.

I had horrible luck with the berrymans. Shit never sealed and ended up leaking out all over the TH floor and staining it.

I had same issue with Berryman's. Tires leaked and made a mess. I too the Berryman's out and put in Staflo and no leaks or mess.

Alumaseal is no longer available. I LOVED that stuff.Last year I mounted new fronts and rears ,beadlocks and used Camel bead sealer. I had it sitting around for at least 15 years,was still good. Tires have not lost even a pound in over a year now. Link to product. I assume it is still available. It is used to seal just the beads and not to be used to stop sidewall leaks.

What I saw when I went to get some this week. 👎 have heard that glitter can have the same effect though may try that.

Which Gempler's product are you using?
 
for a sandblaster 33 i used half a bottle in each tire. on my brothers car it had douglas beadlocks and they would always leak down so thats what i added the starch to. i just put some new dune sport paddles on it but have yet to add the starch, will see if i need to add it next trip. my car i have raceline beadlocks and ive never used anything in the itres and never had them leak down. i also run extreme dominator 38's on my car, dunno if that makes a difference or not.

Don't be tempted to use the Bars Leak alternative . It does not work. You can still find the AlumaSeal powder though and mix it with sodium silicate(water glass) and that makes an awesome home brew AlumaSeal replacement. I mix it 50/50 with plain old antifreeze when I use it.Keeps the "alumaseal" fluid in the tire for an extended time. Fantastic in mower tires and such where thorns are an issue.
