Subject: [CR]Fixing very small punctures in Tubulars

Hi I have "inherited" several decent quality Tubular tires which have plenty of life left in them, but suffer solely from having very small punctures. I am loath to rip them apart to repair them, if there is an easier, quicker fix, that is less "invasive" (considering the terminology I am using, maybe I see the tires as patients, rather than simply tires ;-)

Has anyone had success fixing similar small holes? Slime, Tufo sealant, old milk??? If so, can you describe how (I have tried Slime, but it seems too glutinous to get through the presta valve.....maybe there is a better application method though?)

Many thanks. Neill "rubber fingers" Currie, Portland, Me
