SASAKI M-746 Pump Gel, 5 g

Sasaki Pump Gel (Lubricant), used to inflate Sasaki brand rhythmic gymnastics balls. Sasaki M-746 Ball Valve Cleaner is a special preservative and ball smoother, in the form of a glycerin-based solution, designed to lubricate the pump needle and the air valve in Sasaki artistic gymnastics balls.For each brand of ball, use only the pump designed specifically for that brand.

Before inflating, dip the pump needle into the liquid gel to moisten it, then insert it correctly into the ball’s valve.Lubrication makes it easier for the needle to enter the valve, thereby preventing damage to the rubber's microstructure.Insert the needle into the center of the valve, strictly perpendicular to the surface of the ball.Inflate the ball until it reaches the size specified for that model.The specified diameter limits must not be exceeded.After inflating, it is recommended to press the valve evenly from all sides to speed up the sealing process.Immediately after injection, there may be a slight loss of air, but within 1–2 minutes the fluid thickens and seals the leak.

A product launched in 2017 and recommended for both new and old Sasaki ballsas a valve conditioner.Lubrication helps in most cases; however, for balls with a severely worn air valve, the product's effectiveness cannot be guaranteed.The warranty terms require that this product be used in the manufacturer's balls.
