Jim -- I guess that your implicit point remains (so all chime in): that sealants in low pressure tires might work much better than same sealants in HP tires. OTOH, the scuttlebutt/googlebutt I've read leads me to think that these sealants might work well in HP tubs, too. I solicit comments from tub riders.
