Ball Repair Sealant for Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, & Playground Balls (Pint, 16 Ounces)

I followed all the suggestions by other reviewers and this stuff worked perfectly. We live in the desert southwest and our basketball court is surrounded by cacti and agave. I know, not the most logical thing to do, but that's the situation. We have four basketballs lying around that have been punctured at one time or another over the last three or four years. My youngest son had a nice behavioral accomplishment (I won't get into details) so I rewarded him with a new basketball. Needless to say, within about 45 minutes it had been punctured by an agave. I had cut off the spines from all of the agave, but apparently I had missed one. That was the last straw. Instead of buying another ball, I decided to try to patch them all. I found this stuff and it worked like a charm. In summary: 1. Partially deflate ball. I inserted a ball inflation needle without the pump and just squeezed the ball to let air out. 2. Push in 1 oz (30 mL for all the metric people) through the ball inflation needle using a 5 mL medicine syringe (thanks to reviewer who suggested this!). Obviously, it takes 6 syringes-full if it's a 5 mL syringe. It may take less because one time I forgot how many times I had used the syringe. I may have only put in 25 mL. 3. Inflate ball to normal pressure. 4. Take ball out and bounce it for a few minutes. 5. Enjoy your new, rock-hard ball. Of all the balls in the yard, only one did not work. This was one where my son had stapled duct tape to the ball with a staple gun in hopes of patching the holes. There were also some deep gouges in the ball. Surprisingly, the air stopped leaking out of 3 of the 4 staple gun holes, but some of the holes were just too large for this to be effective. In other words, if your ball has a gigantic gash or hole in it, this probably won't work. I highly recommend this product for basketballs. Not sure why it didn't work for other people....`

I bought this and used it on 3 different balls. The Hoppy Ball, had a pin size hole. Had to try it 3 times but after allowing it to sit with it overnight the hole was finally sealed. It's made of a light weight plastic or rubber material. The second Hoppy Ball is a heavy gauge plastic/rubber and had a bigger hole. I tried and tried and could not get this leak to seal. The third was a light weight plastic see-through ball. Just a cheap thing. Small hole but could not get a seal. Attemtped 4 times then finally it exploded leaving me covered with this goop! So, I say it depends on the material and size of hole, but even when it works it is a mess.... Sorry! Would NOT recommend!

My so had three flat soccer balls, including one brand new one that got punctured and went flat quickly. I filled each ball with about 3/4 Oz using a regular inflating needle pressed onto a plastic syringe that comes with children's ibuprofen. I aired up all three and bounced them for several minutes each. Two of the balls seemed to hold air fine but I could hear the air coming out of the third one that was new as I bounced it. I was bummed because this is the one we were most excited about fixing. I decided to add a little more, about 1/4 to 1/3 Oz, because the bottle specifies adding 1/2 to 1 Oz. I followed the bouncing procedure and put them away for the night. I was happy to find that all were still holding air the next morning and have now held air for a month without needing to add any. The directions say that the product remains liquid inside the ball, which allows it to repair any new punctures. But, it also slightly affects the motion of the ball when you first start playing with it because the liquid has settled to the bottom. Once it is kicked around for a minute it gets spread around. It is really only noticible if you kick it really slowly on a smooth surface so shouldn't be a concern. I highly recommend this stuff.

I purchased this product largely based on user reviews that indicated this product actually works as expected. I have not been disappointed and have repaired multiple balls saving our team many times the cost of this product in new balls.

I used it on two items, my son basketball which worked great and his football which didn't work at all. I will try again with his football maybe have better luck second time.

Was hopeful that this might work on volleyballs. Our schnauzer managed to bite a tiny hole in two of them. We used a glue injector to put about an ounce of puncture seal in the volleyballs before filling them up. As soon as we put a little air pressure in them, the puncture seal comes out of the hole. Too bad -- would have been very useful.

Amazing! My son goes through one of two soccer balls a week with practicing in the front yard, he's plays competitively and practices non stop. We have bougainvillea bushes everywhere and replacement of new soccer balls was getting costly. 7 balls in one month. This has sealed all 6 balls and hasn't gotten flat again. That's $75+ saved for next month alone. Highly recommend! I used the medication syringe with the inflatable needle, and didn't purchase those separately. You can get a medication syringe and Walgreens or CVS for free. 10ml=1/2 ounce.

As several others had suggested, I attempted to use a plastic syringe (used with children’s medicine) to inject the product into the ball. It was impossible to get the product into the basketball. It would immediately congeal and gum up, clogging the needle. The instructions on the bottle said that it was a clear, viscous liquid; however, mine was a bright blue gel even after shaking well per the instructions. Maybe I got a bad batch. Either way, one of the worst purchases I’ve made.
