I guess aussie millimeters are bigger than ours. The slime product I am familiar with has black chunks of rubber in it that can be as big as 2 mm. The other day, filling a new tube, It would barely go into the tube since it had a narrow valve stem, about 2mm. I tend to run a thick tube, or a tire protector inside too, to deal with goatheads and maybe even glass cuts. It works great on mesquite thorns, that are as thick and long as a finish nail, like a 6 penny nail, or an 18 guage in gun nails and staples. I pull out several that penetrate at least an inch, on virtually every dirt ride in the area I go to 1/2 mile from my house. But on bike tires, the shit may let too much air out before a chunk gets lodged in the hole. With a car or truck tire, you only lose maybe 1 psi, but with a bike you might lose 30 psi. Maybe the stuff I use is aimed at 4x4's and is different. It sure does suck to get it all over you though.

One very lucky dude. From what you say, it sounds like you fill your tubes with slime yourself from a pressure pack can. I bought pre-filled Slime tubes. They may not have enough slime in them, but even so, on a 1mm puncture that occurred I was hearing "phut, phut, phut" for about a kilometre before realising that it was a puncture. There was a lot of slime in the tyre (no longer in the tube) when I eventually removed the tyre. I'd have thought that there was enough to do the job. Slime also say that you shouldn't run at too high a pressure. Well the pressure was getting pretty low by the time I stopped. The inside of the frame was covered with slime, not to mention the green stripe up my back. It maybe that slime is not suited for "Australian" conditions. One thing is for sure, it certainly doesn't work down here.
