I found this interesting rubber structure inside a tire that had Stans liquid for about two months.
It is gray rubber and about an inch. Probably a chunk of latex.
Check it out.
I have the same thing happening in my tires, along with a healthy buildup of more stringy lumps stuck to the inside of the tire.
I have also had a couple of flats that were not too big (much, much smaller than the ones in the stan's demo video) but where liquid sealant would just keep squirting out without sealing the puncture which leads me to believe that there is not enough latex left in the liquid because it has all hardened up already
This was about 1 month after filling up fresh sealant.
Now I live in a hot climate with plenty of 100+ days in the summer, and that may have something to do with it.
Still, ~1 month lifespan on sealant isn't very good, is there a sealant that is better for hot climates than stan's?

You can add a bit of Slime to keep it moist longer. 2 parts Stan's and 1 part Slime (or 1/2 part)
Do you guys also get the boogers in UST tires? I imagine a UST tire is completely sealed, so there is less evaporation. Maybe it means that stan's does not dry as fast. And maybe not
Interesting to know that the tubless sealants create boogers. Some of the pics almost look like coral! Do these effect the tires at all? I only ask since some companies void warranty if you use a sealant with the UST tires..
Those are some attractive boogers to look at while I am eating lunch. It's only a matter of time before one in the shape of Jesus is found!
Mmm, more tasty appetizers...
Batting 1000. Changed front Ardent 2.4 to find the one on the Stan's cup. The other came from the rear Saguaro 2.2. Couldn't feel 'em, until fully deflated, liquid remained,
no flats for 8 months. Wiped inside w/ sponge, refilled, and ready to go ride. Got salsa?
