    It says on the bottle: 3 - 4oz (100ml-ish) for a 29” tyre.

    I've done the opposite and moved away from Stan's and I'm now trying Uberbike sealant. Stan's looks more watery than this.

    You can always add a little extra if you want for extra protection.

    Thanks for the replies 100 ml each sounds about right .I Have noticed its considerable more watery than Slime .
    But is Stans latex based .
    I could wash old slime out of a tyre if changing it out .
    Not sure how messy stans will be in the tyre .

    a lot of sealants are latex based, but why would you want to wash sealant out?! Generally you top up the existing sealant (unless youre changing to a very different solution) as sealant just dries up over time. If needed you can peel out the old stuff if it forms clumps.

    washed out slime to convert to Stans not sure the 2 systems would sit well with each other .

    If your taking a tyre off to store it I would want to clean the inside of the tyre out.

    In the next couple of months I'll be switching tyres weather dependant so will clean the inside of the winter tyres etc.
