can I use it in aluminum rims

First, the question I have is what type of tire are you using it on? I would not use it on any automotive tire! Lawn equipment, dollies,etc have been the type of equipment I have used slime on and found if treated properly according to directions results have been excellent. For reasons of safety I would never use it on high speed equipment. Tires on cars & trucks need to be kept in balance or you will cause wear and on the tire and possibly wear to bearings and other components. I would never use it on car and truck tires as it may settle inside the tire unevenly and cause out of balance conditions. First, the question I have is what type of tire are you using it on?

From the Slime FAQ: " Slime can have an adverse effect on certain types of aluminum rims. Because alloys differ, it is difficult to predict how Slime will react with your rims specifically."

Yes, you can use it in aluminum rims, also in bicycle tubes, be sure that you use enough. Follow the directions on container.

Regarding slime sealant, it worked well on my lawn tractor and wood trailer. follow the directions on the amount of slime to use, it does work. I would not want to use it in my pickup tires for on highway.

I have never used it on aluminum but I wouldn't hesitate to try it because it is so strong when cured. I have NEVER been disappointed in this product over 10 years.

Never tried it on aluminum. Works great on brass and stainless steel. Surfaces with an already polished finish should be the best option.

I don't see why not. It works inside my 5th wheel and that is just a big aluminum box :~)

It can be used with aluminum wiring just as you would use it with copper. I would suggest rewiring from aluminum to copper ASAP though. Wiring smaller than 6 gauge ( ex-12/2 and 14/2 romex style can get very brittle if ever heated from high draw) so what you can replace I would suggest. There are adapters and electrolytic gel you use to connect copper to aluminum wire, google search more information on it.

They have to be steel wheels in order to fit, not aluminum. There are a series of clips along the edge that will snap on the the edge of the steel wheel much like wheel weights do. It may take some slight force to install but no more than any other hub cap.

I used it over polished alloy car rims.The metal prep provided a great bond and the finished rims looked nice and had a great shine. I thought it was a great product.

Yes. It should work great if you're using cast iron. I don't cook with aluminum so I can't speak to that.

I don't think there's any problem using this product on aluminum, I have used it with great success and the product has come in contact with several differt metals including copper and brass without issues. Make sure if your using a scraper to scrape with somethingthat won't damage your aluminum.

It is for soldering electrical wire. I do not think it would work for metal or aluminum.

Yes, you can. the only difference you will see is a thinner tire, but will fit perfectly in your rim

I don't know but I don't see why not. I an't find my instructions but you may go\\search lumex and see. I don't know what model I have but I am sure the wheels will last awhile.

Hubby says if the bolt pattern is the same you can, but you will need a larger tire to compensate for the smaller rim. Hope that helps!

Yes, you will be able using Alfine 11 with the brakes on the rims. However, if you use the setting for the disc brakes you'll be better served in terms of safety and performance. I am suggesting you to use it with disc brake because my setup is like that and I'm very pleased with it.

I have used it on brass, stainless steel, and copper. Have not used it on aluminum.

As others have said, you could drill them out. The real question is should you drill them out. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, as you risk compromising the structural integrity of the rim. Instead, get some presta tubes and adapters (both of which are cheap and don't increase the risk of catastrophic rim failure).

Yes, I have been using them on aluminum rims for years. There are 2 pads per pack.
