What happens here

To demonstrate the sealant's effectiveness, a tire (with Liquitube already installed internally) is presented. A large screwdriver, representing a significant puncture, is pushed through the tire's tread. The demonstrator explains that as air pressure pushes the sealant through the puncture, the fibers and solids in Liquitube quickly build up like a beaver building a dam, forming a tight seal. After a brief moment, the screwdriver is forcefully pulled out of the tire. The process shows that the sealant immediately fills the void left by the screwdriver, preventing any significant air loss.

Goal: Visually demonstrate Liquitube's immediate sealing action on a tire puncture.

This is how fast we seal this up. When I pull this out, we're done. That's a permanent fix. Somewhere around a half a second. That's
