Subject: [CR] Tufo Sealant in Non-removable Valve Cores


As has been pointed out, Tufo Sealant works well. However, I have only used it with removable valve cores, which are easily to clean or replace if clogged with the sealant. What has been the experience with non removable valve cores? Tufo supplies a tube to attach over the valve, however, is there a method to introduce the sealant without creating a mess? How can an obstructed core be cleaned? Are there other measures that should be taken to prevent valve clogging?
