    I TRIED IT: Wilson Evolution - Used 1/2 of a 2 oz Bottle
    Before: Ball needed aired up each day before use (was going from 7.5 psi down to 3 psi overnight)
    After: Ball has been aired up for almost a week and has gone from 7.5 psi to 7 psi with near daily use inside and outside.
    Any weight the liquid added is negligible.
    You can feel the liquid splash inside if you shake the ball and listen for it, but not necessarily with normal use (nobody I've played with has seemed to notice anything different about the ball.)
    The bottle says the product will remain liquid for 1 to 7 months.

    My granddaughter's old nylon basketball, which she had found and was very proud of, hit a broken-off deck screw while she was shooting baskets into the basketball hoop she had gotten for Christmas, and our daughter and I attached to an elevated clubhouse in their back yard, that week. She was heartbroken - but grandpa said he would fix it. When I got this product and inserted it with a 20 mL hypodermic syringe and basketball inflator needle screwed in, then pumped air in with a bicycle tire pump, it sealed the puncture. A couple days later I added more sealant and air to fully inflate the basketball and it has been holding perfectly ever since. Thank you! Excellent video and excellent product!

    My Wilson Evolution ball definitely feels a little heavier right now. Might be better trying half a bottle initially and see if that is enough before doing the whole bottle

    • @aldomaresca9994
      @aldomaresca9994 Рік тому +1

      Yeah, i put like 15 ml of it in my ball, its got to be about 15 grams, and i dont feel the liquid, it just made a single film inside the ball
      I wouldnt recommend to put too much because as time goes on, the sealant dries, and if it dries at the bottom in one spot, you can get the ball off balance, and it really messes up the feel and control you get

      @jeffs_r_us7166 2 роки тому

      I’ve seen some people get syringes with thick, rounded needles and inject the sealant/glue in that way. If you’ve got a big enough hole you can inject the stuff directly into the hole in the ball, otherwise you just inject it into the valve and shake it around so it covers everything.
