*To those who put a bit too much in and now have liquid inside of their footballs. Re-insert the stem, and tip it down so the liquid drains out. The part where the leak was will be dry, and any excess will drain. Once drained. re-fill with air only, and you have an inflated fixed ball, with no extra liquid.*
I have a signed Andre Reed football that I got from my parents in OP, went to put it in a display case but the ball is flat and seems as if air easily pushes through the laces. Will this solution work to fix that?
This worked perfectly. I had an older leather nfl football and I deflated it a little bit and would not hold air. Got some of this and works like brand new
I have an autographed pro model Wilson Duke, and it’s flat, I was told the rubber bladders only have a life around ten years. Not sure if you keep it pumped up it makes a difference but my $90 ball has a crappy players autograph and definitely has depreciated in value, being broken and flat as hell
I did this and it worked. The football now holds air, but the whole house smells like Fix A Flat. And there is liquid inside the ball now. Still cheaper than replacing the ball.
Major League props coming out your way!!!😎😃😎 Wanting to find a way to deal with my leaking Wilson autograph football I tried your Fix A Flat method. Upon the first application of Fix A Flat I still detected a slight hissing leaking air sound coming from the valve area, not having anything to lose, I re-entered the needle and gave the football a second dose of Fix A Flat. Gave the ball a couple of shakes, and turns. And, like magic, the leaking completely stopped, the ball was treated yesterday, and after numerous inspections, the football is feeling for the first time in years totally stable. I had a plan #2 just in case the Fix A Flat didn't work (which was to send this football back to Wilson for the repair), but the Wilson representative told me that they will not/do not repair Autograph Style (the three (3) panel white embroidered team logo) balls. They do not want to be responsible for damage to any acquired autographs. Thanks again. 😎😎😎
Hi...I tried the method that you have offered. The ball inflated nicely...but what I now have is what feels like 2/3 ounces of liquid floating around inside. It does not seem to want to go away after repeated spinning of the ball. What now?
let most of the air out and then attach a ball inflation needle to the FixaFlat spout after shaking the can 30-45 seconds, The air loss is generally near the inflation valve...so shake the ball to make the rubber liquid coat inside the ball near the valve. Keep skaking/recoating every 10-15 minutes a few times for a few seconds. re-inflate the ball after 4-5 hours and insert the needle after wetting it in saliva and same for valve. you want the needle to glide in to not tear loose any seal inside.
Hey dude, Bills fan here - signed Andre Reed ball that seems to deflate from the laces. Will this solution work even if it's from the laces and not a puncture/hole in the ball?
Hey there friend, Go Bills! This method may not work for you, if it's from the laces, it may be a more in depth or larger break, you can certainly give it a try though, it's worth a shot, just make sure you drain the excess liquid out of the inside after, and re-pump it up!
This will add weight to the ball and make it uneven. This method does fix the leak but with a huge cost to the ball. Actually turning it pretty much useless.
IF you notice undried excess, you can attach valve stem again,. and drain. The dried portion that fixes the leak will remain, and the heavy liquid will be removed.
I did this, and if you drain the liquid after it plugs then it will not affect the football. Barely adds weight and still spins like before in the air.
I had high hopes for this. I tried it and it didn’t work. My football inside lining must have completely failed because the fix a flat liquid leaked out from all the seams and the grip. Complete epic failure. 😂
My ball has liquid in it now and can't spiral so I know I have to drain the liquid out. However i tried sticking the needle in without the hose and squeezing the ball and its taking a really long time for some of the liquid come out. Am I doing something wrong? what do i do?
Depends if the liquid is thin so iy would be easier and if its dense so it is hard for dense liquid you have to open the stiching of ball or have to apply a major force from inside
I tried doing it with the football I caught at my first NFL game (1 point convert ball after Bledsoe’s first TD as a Bill) and heard a pop and now I feel it is non repairable now. Any advice would be helpful
@shakrmakr: You wouldn't want to try the fix a flat method on anything other than a ball that you play in the backyard with, or perhaps the local park. Send YOUR ball to the Wilson factory in Ada Ohio, and they'll replace the bladder AND re-lace the ball for around $20.
Okay, I followed your instructions letter by letter, and the Fix a Flat did indeed inflate the football, and it appears not to be leaking. But..... Now there's something inside my football that rattles when it's tossed. Is this the goo from the Fix a Flat?? Will it dissipate after using the ball for a while?
once it's been in there for a little while, you can stick the needle in without the hose, to drain out the excess. and then pump it back up with just air, and you're good to go
if you use this stuff it will get hard and impossible to add air later, like all wheels on a car they have to be disposed after adding the temporary fix!
NoClueHowTo's reply to me worked to remove the excess goo from inside my football. But my ball kept needing more and more Fix a Flat and started smelling like a Petroleum Refinery. Great video from the author, and it indeed will fix your football. But last Thanksgiving (Black Friday) I scored a brand new Wilson Leather Football for $8 Bucks!! Consider this a temporary fix if you use your ball all the time and want to keep it in the house.. Oh, let's all give the author a thumbs up for the video. I truly would never have considered Fix a Flat to repair my favorite Nike Leather Football (still in the garage and inflated, I cannot throw it away).
Justice Jones the author just ruined your ball dude, you need a new bladder! period, order it from wilson for ONLY $89,99 9or buy a new ball for $90 bucks) up to you if you want to save some money,lol
but i have a sports ball pressure gauge. what if i wanted to fill my ball to the proper pressure of 13 psi measured without getting that crap in my pressure gauge?

And that works. Cut a sliver,push in with glue and the inflating needle. Two years and still holding. Keep your balls out 9f cold weather and in the house . The valve breaks down over time(dry rots )
Just make sure to put a VERY small amount of fix a flat, or else you'll have liquid inside! If you put too much, you can always insert the needle by itself and squeeze it out! Good luck!
This does not work. This is what you have to do go and find some little pens not a ink pen, but something like pin art and get one pen and stick it inside of the ball valve and it would help to stop the air from leaking. Trust me it works.
THIS DID NOT WORK, PUT IN FIX A FLAT, SHOOK THE CAN, FOAM WAS COMING OUT OF THE LACES, USED THE WHOLE CAN BALL NEVER INFLATED, $6 WASTED ALONG W MY WILSON FOOTBALL.....$100 FOOTBALL

I have sent in several autographed balls to Wilson and they fixed them in about a week. No problems. Cost $20
They told me they would not repair an autographed football
so does this replace air-the foam-or does it just patch up the hole where the air is escaping?
How does this effect weight of the ball over air?
WOW so simple for fixing my Super Bowl football GO PACK GO!
Hi...I tried the method that you have offered.
The ball inflated nicely...but what I now have is what feels like 2/3 ounces of liquid floating around inside. It does not seem to want to go away after repeated spinning of the ball. What now?
Will this make the football last forever? And would this make the ball heavier?

wait so does this work regardless of where the leak is?
no fix a flat could ever repair Bills football 😂😂😂
:p
Maybe it just did
I'll give it a try thank you.

I see that ball is a bit deflated but I’m sure if u pump it up before u play it should last a while before it goes flat again.
I had high hopes for this. I tried it and it didn’t work. My football inside lining must have completely failed because the fix a flat liquid leaked out from all the seams and the grip. Complete epic failure. 😂
Can you help me I got fix a flat and it won’t flow fast it’s slow and barely goes through the valve
I love that football. if you ever want to part ways with it I'll pay you maximum $15 for it.
That football head should had got run over serveral time.
Wow Nice ideia Bro, TKS, hugs from Brazil

you can only use this spray once in any bag type (wheels for car etc), it gets hard after this and you can never put air again!
Just poke a hole in the pump hole
If in my country they don't sell Fix and Flat What else can I use?????

Wish I knew
Amazon
I think i put a little too
Much in how long should i let it sit before use?
You don't need to pump up a flat, you like Brady
Will this work on a deflated baseball?
Teresa Keepper how the hell would a baseball be deflated
2020 Go BILLS!!!
I'm on the 3rd ball. The flip a flat just comes out the seams and laces and these are not 5 year old balls
And I was using Krazy Glue ...
but i have a sports ball pressure gauge. what if i wanted to fill my ball to the proper pressure of 13 psi measured without getting that crap in my pressure gauge?
It’s works but now the football won’t be a spiral whenever I throw it
I can confirm that this works

It didn't work! The "hole" never sealed. I think I'll try a tire shop and see if they can plug it.
And that works. Cut a sliver,push in with glue and the inflating needle. Two years and still holding.
Keep your balls out 9f cold weather and in the house . The valve breaks down over time(dry rots )
If this works, I owe you a SERIOUS solid!!

@@RogerRoddComedian So does it work?
@@avneetaurora8649 I just got all the implements. I'll keep you posted!!
@@RogerRoddComedian OK thanks it would really help out
Thank you... Go Bills
Doesn't work! Did it 3 times over 3 days.Still leaks!
You need to remove also the kitchen knife you used to stab your football when your favorite team lost.
Go Bills! 🏈
At first glance I thought that was a Tom Brady football...
A Bills ball!!!! Yay.
#BillaMafia
Go bills!!!!!
Holy shit
now we will see old footballs on ebay that say they hold air but not tell us they used fix a flat for big bucks.👎
This is what Tom Brady did
I don't think I want to try this with my football Tom Benson sent me when hell froze over in 2010🤗Who Dat !! Drew Dat 😍🤗
It didn’t work for me
Thanks for bricking my ball
by brick do you mean it doesn't spiral anymore? Cuz I had the same problem and I know how to fix it.
How to fix
A Tree how do i fix it my ball wont spiral anymore??!
This does not work. This is what you have to do go and find some little pens not a ink pen, but something like pin art and get one pen and stick it inside of the ball valve and it would help to stop the air from leaking. Trust me it works.
why waste your money on fix a flat when you could buy a new ball
That ball is as deflated as mine whenever i find out my crush has a boyfriend
Put a new valve in do not do this lmao wtf
This is a eggball
I have a really good fix. Get a new football they're only 20-40$$
How we know the football had a leak 🤦🏽♂️

how did u manage to break a 100$ wilson football
Paul Lazar dude, if you send your Wilson ball to Wilson they'll replace the bladder and relace it for $20 + shipping
Calvin Nguyen all Wilson footballs are garbage honestly. They can’t stand weather under 40 degrees and they pop when kicked
Football? That’s the wrong shape
