watery tubeless sealant
Quote | Reply
Have had a few instances where sealant won't plug up the hole and when taking the tire off the rim the tire the sealant almost looks like dirty water. its not white sealant more like murky water. I do wash my bike after every ride so could it possibly be water getting into the spoke holes? but then again wouldn't the rim tape stop it from coming in?

For reference gp5000tl and Stans

Any feedback or similar instances?

Thanks!

Water can't get in.

As Jim says if water could get in air would of gotten out long before you washed it.

Stan's instructions say - Important: While shaking and pouring sealant, the bottle must be turned upside down. (See photo 5). The sealant contains micro sealing particles; these particles need to be suspended in the sealing fluid for maximum performance.

And you should be shaking pretty hard. Is it possible you've got more fluid than particles by not shaking enough? Left alone Stan's separates. I'm thinking if you don't get more liquid separation in the tire it might not coat properly and then you might get some of the rubber washed off and mixed in - dirty water maybe?
