... well if you have an empty one and you need/want to swap tyres with loads of sealant in them still they dona great job of sooking it all out.

And then you can put it in the new tyre!

Cheapskate? Me?!

Ha, yeah... I suck it out with a syringe and chuck it in a container. This way seems much more direct. :-bd

BUT.... you dont pull out the granules that are in the fluid as most are stuck around the tyre. SO...... but some glitter off that there ebay, Silver is the best, and add it to your recycled fluid. As this will help to seal any holes, and when you get a puncture it comes out and looks like unicorn come :D Even better at night :-bd

I've used a cap of an aerosol or anything round of ~2-3" dia to scrape and scoop the stuff out, hadn't thought of trying the old bottle as a sort of syringe though.. Ta.

I looked into that a while back. There's many different versions etc. I have all the materials sitting there ready to be mixed, just not got around to it. Image
