[QUOTE="PALMER84ONE, post: 57695, member: 6"] I am going to advocate to not use soap. Why? Soap dries and then reacts to water and becomes slippery again. This could (not will) cause a problem "if" you were to get another flat (same tire). The tire can (not will) slip on the rim because the soap has reacted with the water. I will advocate for WD-40. Why? WD-40 dries and does not react to any water. Once it dries, it's done. Never have to think about it again. I find that a small bottle (bicycle chain lube size) with WD-40 in its place is easy to carry with your other lubes; Dot-4, Mineral Oil, 2T oil, etc. The baby powder or talcum powder on a tube in a zip lock is a wonderful thing. In addition, the CO2 cartridges are fantastic with combo pump. I have the "Second Wind" that uses the 16oz cartridges. Here is another tip. Take a inner tube (flat or new) from a bicycle (any size), cut a 5 inch section and shove 3 CO2 cartridges in it, holds them nice and tight. I have one in the pump but not punctured. This gives me a total of 4 cartridges. I also do this with a mini AAA batterie mag light and 4 AA batteries and 1 AAA batterie. The cut sections of inner tubes work great to hold it all together. The 4 AA are 2 for my Camera and 2 for my GPS, and the AAA is for the mag light of course, others may vary in their needs. You can also cut inner tubes in a 3/4 inch piece and use as a very strong rubber band to hold other things together as well. Thats about it for now, until I think of other things.
