I just unsrew the inner part of the valve (Schrader), use a bottle with a thin tip I’ve prefilled and squirt the goop it in via the valve stem, rotaring occasionally. Screw the stem insert back in, tighten and reinflate the tyre, I thought i was easy. How is it complicated?.
I just break the bead, pour it in, and reseat/reinflate. Not prehistoric, no big deal really.

Yup, it depends extremely on the tire/rim combination. Some are extremely easy, some are almost impossible to get seated.
I have a compressor bottle. You pump it up with your foot pump to about 10 bar and then use that to fill the tire. Works pretty much every time.
Don’t they just have syringes you can use instead? That seems easier-er…
They claim in the article that syringe tubes get clogged. I have no experience with this.

Or something like a grease gun that screws or clamps onto the valve and then forces the goop in.
Just buy a stans no tubes refill bottle. 2 oz. Then keep refilling the sucker. Remove the valve core. If you’re doing it the old school way it’s way messier. The stans no tubes syringe was even messier.
I always seat tires before putting sealant in and this almost guarantees no splash back. https://sprocketkings.com/products/stans-no-tubes-regular-tire-sealant-2oz-bottles
What made the syringe messier?
Just like the device in the article it’s fitted around the valve and the sealant goes everywhere. At least the stans syringe was over valve.
