Has anyone managed to use these together? I'm getting a bit fed up of punctured balls I can't repair as the air tight membrane is inside the leather stitched outer. But due to the nature of Slime and the tiny access hole it just won't go in, yet there is a youtube video of just that..
Frankly it was a struggle to get in little DKL's bike tyres but it has stopped the punctures.

I don't think Slime would be a good idea. It does tend to 'puddle' and certainly takes a while to disperse around a tyre. Just spin a rear wheel that's been sat for while. It feels like the wheel is trying to escape from the frame!
A football could never be kicked in a straight line.

I do agree with the above.
I have slime inside my tubes, and to its credit it does stay liquid and pool if sat for a while....but inside a ball that isn't a good thing!

Imagine the trick shots you can do once it does pool and set in the ball

Bear in mind Messi he is not so a ball that stays inflated is more important than a ball that does what is asked of it as we have no idea what that may be!
Getting it in is the issue.
