I do know first hand your tire technician absolutely hates dealing with this stuff! It gums up everything and short of a harsh chemical like acetone or brake parts cleaner, the only way to get this stuff off you wheel is a lot on muscle. I also would not say it's tire pressure monitor safe. I have had to deal with this several times at an independent shop and we always advised our customers to avoid using any tire sealant in their vehicle tires. I'd also say, for small go carts, wheel barrows, hand trucks, etc I'd say it's safe to use.

Howdy, I have a work truck that has an annoying v-e-r-y slow leak in one tire. Loses only about 1 pound of air per day. I've been meaning to take it to the tire shop. But hell, I would rather replace the whole tire if I'm gonna do that. I don't know if it's a rim leak or what. A soap test tells me it is not the valve stem. Do you think the yellow label would take care of this tiny leak?
