*WARNING*

There are several brands of aerosol tire fixers on the market which
are supposed to seal leaks from small punctures in your tires. DON'T
USE THEM!  I recently had a tire fixed after this gunk failed to
seal a slow leak in one of my Michelins, and the guy at the tire
shop showed me what this CRAP had done -- eaten all the paint off
the rim.  He said that it eventually would have ruined the tire.
Fortunately, I cought it in time, so I only spent $7 for a patch,
instead of $100 for a new tire.
