What do you do with it?

Just changed my rear tyre and there was a good 100ml sloshing round in the old tyre. I soaked it up with kitchen roll and binned it but is there an easy way of recycling it without getting it everywhere?

Pour it in the new tyre. Why would you bin it?

Old sealant, new chewing gum.

Mine just soaks into the bit of carpet by the bench. Some may soak into my shoes or jeans. The rest will be absorbed by the dust on the floor. Disposal has never been an issue.

We always re use it. That's what Abigales just done out in Madeira after trashing a rear tyre on today's stages.

Suck it up with a big syringe and put it in the new tyre .

Not really skinflint! Its the easiest way to get rid (or not). A syringe is 50p, much less than the cost of 50+ml of sealant.
