Just had my mk2 puncture proof barrow converted to powered recently and now I'm paranoid about getting a puncture. Is it possible to use tyre weld as a preventative measure against future punctures with an inner tube? If so, which one would you recommend and which size can?
Many thanks in advance.

I bought a power conversion three years ago that came with a normal front tyre. It was fine for about a year and then the inevitable puncture. The conversion kit came with some tyre slime so I filled it up and it has been fine for two years now. You can buy it online - bright green tyre slime.

Where do you buy that? Found a huge drum of it on eBay for £94 lol. Needless to say, I'm not paying that lol.

Yeah, I've seen those but not sure what size can I need? My wheel is the fatboy one if that makes any difference.

Yep the green tyre slime from Halfords.
Applied to my porter lite in 2008 never a problem since then.
You can get it from Halfords for less than a tenner.

This. I did the same with my power porter, after a blackthorn went through the front wheel.
Has been absolutely fine since.

I used oko off road tyre sealant bottle get it off Amazon it tells you on the side of the bottle how much put in depending on the size of the tyre it also has the valve core removal tool in the bootle cap . u won't need much of the liquid comes is 1200 ml bottle probably less that 400ml you need . I only put 250 ml in my Nash trax metro power barrow Wheel

if your local to halfords they will put it straight in your tyre for under £10, ive had mine in for years and never got a puncture.
A litre will be more than enough. I think my bottle was 500ml but I didn't have a really large wheel.
Both my barrows had puncture gel fitted at kwikfit 4 wheels in total £15.
Thanks for all your replies guys. Got a 476ml bottle of slime coming for £7 odd 👍🏻👍🏻
You'd think that the barrows with the motor built into the wheel would be puncture proof wouldn't you? Perhaps that'll be the mkVII?
