Front tire sealant

Thanks, I saw that when I went to their web site. I was expecting something like a list of where to but, but if I have to CALL for pricing on a half gallon of sealant it does not look like they are set up for the small time consumer.

Also - a question for those of you who have used the stuff, regardless of brand.
How well does a partially used jug keep?
For example - if I use 30 ounces of a 128 ounce (1 gallon) jug and close it up, can I expect the rest to be usable in 3 years or so?

The manufacturer would know.

I bought a gallon of one of the kinds mentioned above (kind of greenish, but not Slime), put it in two tires and still fighting with what it did to the rims.

That was over 30 years ago and the stuff refuses to solidify. Maybe I should feed it to the prairie dogs?

Right, I posted the question on amazon.
The mfg. answer:

Our products have a shelf life of 10 years.

I also got:
It is still useable...just make sure to clean out the nozzle really well.

I have a stop leak product in 3 tires at my place and in half a dozen heavy implement tires over at the farm as well as a couple of large rear tires.
I have broken down tires with it in them, it wasn't that bad to wipe out and dispose of, I mixed it with a bit of sawdust in a plastic jug. Just reached in and scooped it up with my hand then wiped it out with some paper towels.

Do you know what its based on?? 30 years is lots. Please look at the jug sometime.

I guess your tire machine doesn't automatically break the inner bead, too?

It's in a container, probably partially buried, but I'll try to remember finding it.

Nope, it sure doesn't I want to see the machine that is going to do an 18.4-30 or 20.4-38. Even the heavy implement 12.5-16 14 ply implement tires.

The 12.5-16s shouldn't be a problem for my tire machine...but are for my back.

Building a small crane for the heavier tire and wheel combinations has been on the list for a while.

On Amazon tireject prices seem weird.
TireJect Automotive Full-Size Truck/SUV 2-in-1 Tire Sealant & Bead Sealer Kit (2-Pack with Injector) $39.99
TireJect On-Road Trailer 2-in-1 Tire Sealant & Bead Sealer Kit (2-Pack Kit with Injector) $34.99
Both kits have the same contents, $5 price diff.
Anyways, decided to go for tireject from Walmart, Lawn Mower 5-in-1 Off-Road Tire Sealant 30oz for $45.

Quick look at results after 10 days of posts.
Seems like 6 votes for tireject ($140/gallon@amazon), FlatOut by Multi-Seal got 2 votes (~$58 for a gallon of 4 packs@ amazon, but don't buy the 1 gallon jug), Gemplers products, Flat Tire Prevention Commercial grade ($78/gal @ amazon) got 2 votes.

Update, short term results:
Monitored pressure for 3 days- aired it up to 20lbs each night, flat or 10lbs by noon next day.

Bought the TireJect Lawn Mower 5-in-1 Off-Road Tire Sealant - Flat Tire Protection Kit with Sealant Injector - Repair & Prevent Flat Tires (pack of 3 10oz packs plus deluxe tire stem remover, big syringe style injector that holds 5oz (with another small stem remover inside), 4 valve caps, 2 spare stems) $45@Walmart, took ~ 3 days shipping.
Easy install on front Kubota tire used ~6 or 7 oz.
Injected, aired to 30lbs, drove around yard a bit (?60 yards), re-aired to 30lbs (based on cheap gauge) drove around again, let it sit 2 days, checked pressure w/ brand new DeWalt compressor, was at 33lb. So one gauge is off.
Thought it was a nice step to provide 2 spare stems in case I lost them, but I almost poured the liquid into the syringe BEFORE I noticed the extra small stem remover inside.
Clean up was a breeze, washed off easy with cold water.
