stans in a tube?

If I remember corretly my non ust times I used stans in tubes (hope I understand you correctly) and it worked miracles. It was in a time when I had zero technique and I was riding like a tank. Anihilated my deemax rims (and a 6.1 rim but that's not a suprise 
) and had zero flats. Even once landed on tube only 
) and had zero flats. Even once landed on tube only 
I run a thin sidewall front tire that gives me a couple flats in a year or so. Would spraying 50ml Stan's milk in the tube let me run less pressure and/or thinner tubes without snake bites? If I understood correctly, the sealant can repair small punctures without air loss. I'm not confident to go full Stan/UST yet, so this would be my first try.
It will probably help, I and others have had great success with the stans in tubes method. It doesn't work 100% but it works a lot better than without.
i ran the stans solution in my tubes for a while on my mountain bike and never got a flat. im still doing this in my road bike. the only reason i stoped using it on my downhill bike is because i built a few sets of stans flow downhill rims and im running full tubeless now.
It works great..... but remember Stans still dries up much faster than SLime
is the only reason you'd use stans over slime is weight savings? or is there other benefits to be aware of
ive never seen slime actually do anything... that is other than make a mess.
I used slime for seven years, never got a flat aside from a major pinch flat, I know it worked, because when I went change my tires, the tube was usually glued to the tire.
I recently went away form slime.....For the weight savings......and I am getting flats on the same trails I have ridden for years.
It does work, so deos the stans.
Both make a hell of a mess when you get a nice pinch flat
