I've seen these about for a while and always wondered what is actually in them to "repair" and reinflate a flat tire. The only way to find out was to get a tin and squirt some out for analysis.
It's flammable by the way.... Very flammable. I'm not sure this is a good thing, even if it is immense fun to light.
Let me know in the comments below if you have ever used this and if it worked or not.
Note that liquid latex is not great to get on your clothes as anyone in the special effects industry can testify. It soaks in and the moisture is absorbed by the fabric leaving a permanent rubbery skidmark on the fabric.
Ben at Applied Science also made a video about this stuff, but his appears to use the non-flammable refrigerant based propellent. He came to the same conclusion about the latex, but noted that another solvent was in use too.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
