I bought the moose pre slimed tube. And when I mounted the tire and filled it with air, it was kinda laying flat on my workbench. And it would blow slime back out the valve like that. So I did what Jeff said. I put the wheel back on the bike, rotated the wheel to got the valve stem in the 10 -2 oclock position. Let it sit for a few minutes, and now I can check the tire pressure without blowing slime. So, to reuse a slimed tube, just let the air out like that, and the slime will be settled in the bottom of the tire. MotorMark
