When I was a kid I used Eagle brand milk and sugar in my bicycle tires. It would work for a while.

That stirs up a memory.
I remember my father saying he used sugar and water. Never tried it myself.

We used to use a chemical in the paper mill for retention aid, it looked like slime, and it plugged things up! In the elevator that department was called the snot-pump floor!

Guy at work says antifreeze. I never tried it but he swears it works. Another guy here tried it and had good luck too.

a patch is the only sure way to fix it.

My logger friends up north put gallons of slime in brand new skidder tires right away, saves them a lot of downtime.

I've used household starch in small tires for quite a while now and it works good for me and is a lot cheaper than slime. I've never put it anything but tubeless lawn tractor tires.

A cheap non corrosive tire sealant can be made from a mixture of cheap RV antifreeze and worm bedding (fine ground news paper from the Walmart fishing dept) Mix them to the consistency you like and have at it.

Pour it in the tire as you assemble it, or pump it down the valve stem.

I also tried RV antifreeze in the tires of my Dakota pickup(3 oz per tire) This was to add a form of liquid tire balance. The design of the Dakotas rims are such that it builds up mud balls on dirt roads that affect tire balance. 3 OZ RV antifreeze adds enough automatic balance that I can go much longer before having to wash the mud out of the rim. A side advantage is that the liquid RV antifreeze sealed a slow leak in 1 tire. Dont add too much, as it can actually cause tire imbalance if you put in too much (I tried 6 oz at first and it was a vibrating disaster

.
Also on a newer car or truck,(2009 and later ?) any kind of tire sealer may wreck the tire pressure monitor sending units.

I've used honey and it works great
