Bobby: are they the same thing? 25 ml is <1oz and I don't think that 1 oz of Stan's will work.
I've tried various Slime/Stan's-type sealants and have given up because in every case, even tho' the stuff works for many thorn holes, eventually it will leak and make a puddle in the tire casing -- a bloody mess. I was hoping that this stuff was of a different sort.
