I always fuck that up. Thanks Good Guy Justin.
Also, I'm pretty sure this is what the internet is made of.

chop that tube up, melt one end and you got yourself about 20 affordable condoms, one of the condoms will even have a fanny tickler

Does slime even work in "road" tubes?
A certain volume of air is going to escape at the time you get the puncture, before the slime sets. While this volume may not be too significant compared to the overall air volume in, say a f'n mtb tire, or otherwise high-f'n-volume tire, the amount of air that a 25c @ 90psi f'n setup would lose might be a different story.
But please, tell me I'm f'n wrong. I haven't f'n used slime since my last f'n mtb (10 years ago), and I'm totally making this up as I f'n go.

Yeah I was just speaking to my own experiences and asking for other's direct experiences.
Since I have an escalating arms race for tire air volume between my bikes I haven't had a flat I have identified as a pinch flat in a long time. Thinking back over 10 years of riding glass was still my top failure mode and so I'm curious how a FOSS would respond to that. I'm picturing it may last longer if glass is embedded in the tire but may eventually cause a hole but since it is a less uniform shape than a nail or goathead I don't know how well it would seal around it.
(~5) glass shards
(3) black berry thorns, 2 were slow leaks
(2) tube/valve rot/separation
(1) steel shaving/sliver
(1) valve failure
(1) upholstery tack
(1) sharp sliver of shale type rock
(1) Tire blew off rim when MTBing
