Small tire repair - using bead sealer to fix a flat trailer tire. Does bead sealer work?

Does bead sealer work? Small tires on jon boat trailers or log splitters can often go flat due to a bad seal on the rim. Then they come off the rim and you might not get a good seal when you're pumping it up. Wheelbarrows, log splitters, ATVs, trailers, boat trailers, riding mowers etc. - the leak can be due to a poor seal against the rim. If it fails the soapy water test - tire bead sealer is the low cost solution to this issue and eliminates (or reduces) flat tires for lots of yard and outdoor equipment that use inflatable tires.
The product I used was Xtra Seal Bead Sealer

I use Windex as the testing medium, it works great.

[@Randy-ul5hy]

Also if you cant get bead sealer, anti seize will do the trick.

My son uses this on cars all the time...He has no complaints. Got my Xotra Seal at Orieleys auto part..10 bucks with tax....Can't wait too try it on my lawnmower tires.

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

It's good stuff - and as long as your tires aren't too dry rotted or cracked it should work perfectly.

O'Reilly's keeps it in the back room.... they told me they usually just sell it to their commercial accounts... I had to ask for it as it wasn't on display inside the store...... 32 Oz can was 1299 + tax

[@seahawksforever9504]

I didn't hear the tire make the pop sound when airing up? Also, did you just seal the beads only or did you wipe inside the rim as well?

[@07Convertable]

Hey Wayne! How's that bead sealer holding up after two-years?

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

I think it's still doing ok! Those tires belong to a friend of mine. When I have a mysterious leak with any of mine, I'll be doing this again!

[@07Convertable]

@@WayneTheBoatGuy I have an old garden tractor with a slow leak, slime did not touch it so I will get some of this stuff. Thanks for the video.

[@Randy-ul5hy]

@@07Convertable if you have a bead leak, Slime will not work. Its only recommended for the tire base, not the sidewalls or bead.Cheers!
