How many of you run tire "slime" in your tires all the time?

A spinning tire distributes the slime over the butyl layer inside a tire by centrifugal force, how do you propose to do that in an airbag system? I suppose it’d work for any punctures on the bottom of the bag where the Slime would collect, as for the air lines, not so much.......
It worked for my air bag that was always dropping air, not had a problem since, just be sure to take bag off and fill with slime and shake it up well. IT WORKED
 

Buddha.

Finally in expo white.
I forgot about the tpms. I used slime in my truck tire that kept losing air, last winter. Tpms still works and still leak free.

You also removed and reinstalled the Schrader valve, the most likely culprit in your leak.......

No, Do not have a Schrader valve?
I do have direct line to bag on both sides, single fill air lines for bags, simple set up. No compressor.
And yes replaced the lines, and 90 degree inlet, bench tested and water tested, with no bubbles.
Put bag (which was new), and replaced everything.
Sill leaked !!
Then I took every thing off again, and filled bag with SLIME and shook the hell out of it.
Put everything back on AGAIN-NO LEAKS
Bag has been holding at 20 lbs of air.
I would say the air bag is the culprit not lines or fittings.
