I'm in need of getting some more latex. I've only ever used Stans before but I've also heard good things about Orange sealant. Just looked on there website & it says it needs topping up every 45 days....anybody got some real world experience of using Orange. 45 days doesnt seem long

I've been using this stuff:

Seems to last for ages.

Stick with Stans, I've never had any issues with it at all, generally change / top up once a year.

I've heard good things about the orange stuff. It comes with a dip stick so that you can check the levels.
Looks like it seals better than anything else too

I use the Doc Blue stuff, says Schwalbe on the front but IIRC it's made by Stans. £15 for 500ml which is good for about 8 tyres, also comes with a handy little bottle which doubles up as a measuring device and method of getting the stuff into your tyre.
Works perfectly, I never remember to top it up but it gets refreshed whenever I swap from summer to winter tyres and vice versa.

The Bontrager stuff I used was terrible.

I've used Stans, Joes, and Caffe Latex, all have been fine.

I've used a few, Stans just seems to work better.

Although the cheap stuff I got from Planet-X seemed to work well in my Fatty. Only bought it as I baulked at the cost of the amount of Stans in a fat tyre!

1 litre of Hutchinson stuff from Decathlon for £17.99 IIRC. They deliver free to your nearest Asda...

Never tried the Hutchinsons but I have everything else. I found JRA, Bonty Super Juice sealed absolutely nothing, whereas Stans has never let me down once. I had pictures with Caffe Latex too, although that's the only one which doesn't eat aluminium rims (supposedly).
