I really have not had good luck with Slime either. I have used this JD product for over 25 years. I got it for tires a customer of ours had that only mowed with his tractor. The tire would not last six month and he would have them filled with Honey Locust thorns with 10-15 patches per tire/tube that would not seal. Took the tubes out and mounted the tires tubeless and put about 1/2 gallon in each tire. Those tires are still on that tractor today. They will slow leak some over winter but pump them up come spring and they are still going. (Son of the original owner now)
As for the sealer failing. I have not had it not work on any thing smaller than 3/8 of an inch. I ran a railroad spike in my Gator tire and it will only hold air for a week or so. The hole is more a tear and that does not seal like a round nail/stick hole.
Thought a picture of what honey locust thorns look like would show you what king of issue the sealer solved. LOL
The first of this stuff I used was the JD stuff and we used it in lawn mower tires. We had trouble with rose bush thorns in real new tires. You can get the JD sealer in tubes the size/shape of chalking tubes. Simple to use. Just cut the end of the tube of to were it screws on the OD of valve stem. Remove the core. Screw the tube over the stem. Take a hammer handle and push the sliding part of the tube down. Your done. On the average lawn mower one tube per front tire and two per tire on the back. Finally got to looking at the sales manual and found out about the gallon and five gallon sizes.
Truthfully if your not having a lot of issues a gallon split between the two front tires would be all you need.
