Cannon Sports Ball Repair Sealant for Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, & Playground Balls (Pint, 16 Ounces)

Worked on some balls and not on others. Maybe due to the size of the hole, Im not sure.

Agree with several of the reviews that say its far too thick to actually inject into a ball. I guess theres some way to do it since it gets good reviews, but no one will share what the exact product, thats inexplicably not provided with the bottle, is to do that. I have a variety of needles, including a bunch of different sizes of blunt tipped ones, and after weeks of playing with it off and on have simply made a mess but gotten essentially none into any of my deflated balls, so its an absolutely worthless purchase.

I really needed this to work and it did!! My son got to go to the superbowl in new orleans with make a wish. They were given official football for the game but when we got it home it was flat. My son so disappointed. So glad this worked and now the football is under glass

This stuff does not work at all. Tried it on three different balls that were all less than a year old. Im going to buy new balls....money much better spent!

My first attempt at soccer ball repair with the Ball Doctor sealant and syringe product failed completely, the ball on which I tested it deflating again within 24 hours. Since we had so many punctured soccer balls lying around, I decided to make one more repair attempt, and chose this product based on Amazon reviews. The results were excellent: all of the more than 10 balls to which this product was applied are still inflated, more than two weeks later. Of these, one required a second application, while the others remained inflated after the first application.

My so had three flat soccer balls, including one brand new one that got punctured and went flat quickly. I filled each ball with about 3/4 Oz using a regular inflating needle pressed onto a plastic syringe that comes with childrens ibuprofen. I aired up all three and bounced them for several minutes each. Two of the balls seemed to hold air fine but I could hear the air coming out of the third one that was new as I bounced it. I was bummed because this is the one we were most excited about fixing. I decided to add a little more, about 1/4 to 1/3 Oz, because the bottle specifies adding 1/2 to 1 Oz. I followed the bouncing procedure and put them away for the night. I was happy to find that all were still holding air the next morning and have now held air for a month without needing to add any. The directions say that the product remains liquid inside the ball, which allows it to repair any new punctures. But, it also slightly affects the motion of the ball when you first start playing with it because the liquid has settled to the bottom. Once it is kicked around for a minute it gets spread around. It is really only noticible if you kick it really slowly on a smooth surface so shouldnt be a concern. I highly recommend this stuff.

This is great stuff. I am thrilled.

I 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....`

I hoped this would simply be a “Fix a Flat” product for playground balls. Nothing was simple with this product. Had to purchase craft syringes separately and it took two applications to repair the leak, you have to bounce continually to keep the ball from becoming unbalanced. I had initially asked the manufacturer what type of syringe to use, and they would not answer me unless I gave them my private phone number! Not comfortable with that! Save money and time, recycle the punctured ball and purchase a new one. Faster and easier.

I worked on about a dozen balls, some still leaked after the process. Most of them leaked around the valve stem. I replaced the valves too but I still have some semi flat balls.
