Slime has two different formulae, one for tubeless and one for tubes.&nbsp\\; Emergency use only\\; remove tire to get the Slime off the inside of the wheel before it turns to crud and the Slime may affect wheel balance.

That's only a temporary fix. I would replace the tire immediately!

I agree that you should really check the tire but.......
&nbsp\\;
I ran&nbsp\\;over 10,000 miles on a rear tire repaired with slime.
&nbsp\\;
After replacing a worn tire i &nbsp\\;put a new&nbsp\\;one on and got a nail in it two days later. That's when I found out dealers don't repair tires, they only replace. So after I had the second new tire on the bike in less than a week, I picked up another nail. Got pissed and tried the slime. It fixed the hole.&nbsp\\;Rode easy on it for about a week thinking I'd get a new tire when I could afford it. Then said screw it and ran it until I needed another one.
&nbsp\\;
Stupid yes....but can be done.
