> 3 dayI followed all the suggestions by other reviewers and this stuff worked perfectly. We live in the desert southwest and our basketball court is surrounded by cacti and agave. I know, not the most logical thing to do, but thats the situation. We have four basketballs lying around that have been punctured at one time or another over the last three or four years. My youngest son had a nice behavioral accomplishment (I wont get into details) so I rewarded him with a new basketball. Needless to say, within about 45 minutes it had been punctured by an agave. I had cut off the spines from all of the agave, but apparently I had missed one. That was the last straw. Instead of buying another ball, I decided to try to patch them all. I found this stuff and it worked like a charm. In summary: 1. Partially deflate ball. I inserted a ball inflation needle without the pump and just squeezed the ball to let air out. 2. Push in 1 oz (30 mL for all the metric people) through the ball inflation needle using a 5 mL medicine syringe (thanks to reviewer who suggested this!). Obviously, it takes 6 syringes-full if its a 5 mL syringe. It may take less because one time I forgot how many times I had used the syringe. I may have only put in 25 mL. 3. Inflate ball to normal pressure. 4. Take ball out and bounce it for a few minutes. 5. Enjoy your new, rock-hard ball. Of all the balls in the yard, only one did not work. This was one where my son had stapled duct tape to the ball with a staple gun in hopes of patching the holes. There were also some deep gouges in the ball. Surprisingly, the air stopped leaking out of 3 of the 4 staple gun holes, but some of the holes were just too large for this to be effective. In other words, if your ball has a gigantic gash or hole in it, this probably wont work. I highly recommend this product for basketballs. Not sure why it didnt work for other people....`

> 3 daySo I purchased this item because a basketball I got for my dad at a Big 5 started to deflate. We followed the steps- pour it in, bounce it 20-30 times or for like 5 minutes- and it really seemed to work. There was no air leakage, and the ball retained its shape and form well after 24 hours and counting. Great product, really happy.

> 3 dayWas hopeful that this might work on volleyballs. Our schnauzer managed to bite a tiny hole in two of them. We used a glue injector to put about an ounce of puncture seal in the volleyballs before filling them up. As soon as we put a little air pressure in them, the puncture seal comes out of the hole. Too bad -- would have been very useful.

> 3 dayI had purchased 14 Basketballs for my school on clearance from a membership wholesale club. They were $4 each, so even though some of them were not fully inflated I purchased them thinking they just needed inflation. It turned out that 6 did indeed have leaks to the point that they would not hold air overnight. The leaks were pin sized in random locations on the ball. I did research to find some way to fix these balls and could not find anything available locally, so I ordered this product through amazon. It was easy to use, and now the leaky balls have been holding air for 3 months without having to inflate them again. Also you can not tell that the liquid sealant is in the ball at all. Very worthwhile investment.

> 3 dayI purchased this product largely based on user reviews that indicated this product actually works as expected. I have not been disappointed and have repaired multiple balls saving our team many times the cost of this product in new balls.

> 3 dayFence at basketball court is covered with bouganvillea....beautiful but creates some problems...so far this has fixed the leaks. Much cheaper than ball replacement. They should however provide a needle and syringe with this, or a least a link with description / specs in order to purchase one.
