How to fix a flat basketball easily and quickly without adding weight to it.

[@brettmsmith]

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!

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

beautiful!

[@victorangelaltea8267]

Life saver bro! Though I would need to throw away my bootleg ball because it easily deflates. Then came your video. Thank you!

[@kateshoemakerqigong]

This worked so well. Thank you! We had an autographed ball that didn’t hold air and now it looks great.

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

Glad it helped!

[@franciskentprongo7133]

Damn thank you for this tip man my ball in Philippines cost me 2700pesos so its so hard to throw it away when i see this vid man i was so happy that i can repair it now its repaired thanks man❤

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

That’s awesome. I’m so glad it helped.

[@barioannes9410]

A long time ago I was thinking about this but never tried, now I'll do it.

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

ok

[@SeaCowsBeatLobsters]

Huh. As a mountain biker its cool to see other uses for tubeless sealant.

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

Thank you. I I got the idea from a friend who is a mountain biker. The inside of that basketball is the same material as the inside of the mountain bike. I figured it would work.

[@williammiskel]

worked perfect on my son's Wilson Evol BB...thank you!!

[@mikkoleinonen5696]

Thanks mate! My son got his cousins old basketball for practise, but it was full of small puntures. First put too much sealant in, but got the excess away with ball needle. Now it works as it should! Would’ve bummer to throw that ball away. Cheers!

Thanks mate. We have that over here in New Zealand. I’ll give it a go.

[@soulless5645]

This would help me so much because my friend recently just made a hole in my ball

[@shadowstyles3529]

Thank you sir this worked👍

[@alanalto8244]

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]

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

[@Arturcosta-lj8jm]

Thanks man, really this might save me rn

[@Durexi]

Can I just do that without taking the pump’s back off I mean it wouldn’t change anything. Another question how long the ball will last?

[@motorized2105]

hi, thx for the advice. I have a $60 Wilson AVP volleyball that for some reason is leaking from most of the seams. Gonna try this technique and well let the world know if it works!

Java Racing auto sealant can repair your Tubeless Tire of your motorbike & car tyre both. Any kind of air leaks from the tyre can be "can this help????"

[@LushTheDemon]

i didnt cry when my cat died but did when my basketball popped

[@chopchop3093]

It works thanks 😊

[@olracnhoj5891]

hey man can i ask how heavy the baskeball would be if i put a whole bottle in. my basketball has small leaks and i think it feels light compare to other balls so i want to fix the leaks and make it little heavier

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

Don’t put the whole bottle. It’ll be weird

[@robertramirez5884]

Appreciate it bro, really hope this works 🤞🏻

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

did it work?

[@jinjinpyo28]

how many ML is this?

[@hknk2105]

​​@michaeljohnsonofficial Thanks for the superb tip / idea Michael. Watched it in India just now. Throwing away or giving to recycle was the only option with me but just a few minutes away a thought came to my mind that's let's check up on Google if some idea is posted to save the ball and Google showed your KZbin video and I am amazed for your thought of trying a tyre sealant. Superb .God bless you

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

glad it helped

[@TheGalaxyGuyRoblox]

It doesent matter what brand tire selanet i use?

[@frankimaserati1395]

Thank you bro my call does the same bull ten twenty min only.. man hopefully it helps me out

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

It’ll work. The ball in the video has stayed inflated and it has been a year. But don’t put the whole bottle in

[@jplee3]

Have you tried other brands of sealant like the ones by Slime? Will both the tubeless and tube sealants work? Or is tubeless better?

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

No I haven’t tried any other sealants. This one seems to work perfectly.

[@jplee3]

@@michaeljohnsonofficial thanks. I found another video of someone using a can of fix a flat on a soccer ball. It has a little hose and valve where you can screw on the inflating needle for balls. I picked up a can at walmart and did it earlier and I think worked!

[@arnoldortiz1677]

@@jplee3 Is it still holding up the ball? And does it make the ball heavier?

[@TRUEBLUEGOBLUE]

USE STAN'S! IT WORKS AS ADVERTISED HERE! Half a bottle, injected with a inflator needle screwed into a 20 cc hypodermic syringe with a LuerLock tip and inflated with a bicycle tire pump fixed my granddaughter's punctured nylon basketball.

Yo bro wassup I do that’s yesterday like u and my air in the ball go off what should I do? And my ball I new I bought it last Thursday I really hope u that answer me cuz I don’t have nothing to do

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

Did you put stans tire sealant? are you positive it got inside the ball?

[@michaelsobers2871]

Is there any other way to put in sealant in the basketball

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

remove the needle and pour solution into the pump

[@jeffs_r_us7166]

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.

[@waveyrain4998]

Egg white does the same thing too

[@sridhar9023]

Can we add any other tire sealant

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

im sure you can

[@thchtdthchtfthfhtfthcthfjt1274]

Thank you

[@henryryu1443]

Hello, I got the sealant to try to fix my basketball, but the solution has a lot of granules. Was yours like that or was it all liquid? If it did, did it not clog up the needle?

[@michaeljohnsonofficial]

that solution must be old

use the method in the video

Is it ok if for volleyball?

Yes but I don’t recommend using the entire bottle. You need a very small amount. Even for basketball just use a small amount

[@yurr_itske]

Can I get it at a autozone??

no. go to a bike store or order on amazon
