A device for inflating and sealing an inflatable object comprising an air-tight tube, at least one hermetic connector reversibly coupled to either end or both ends of said air-tight tube and a source of pressure connected to either one end, second end or said at least one hermetic connector. The airtight tube serves as both storage means and transfer means for a sealing agent. The device allows transfer of said sealant agent in a largely laminar flow, aiding solid and semi-solid materials in said sealant agent to align in the direction of said flow and pass securely throw the valve mechanism without clogging. The inflatable object may be inflated and sealed without removal of the valve mechanism of said inflatable object and may be charged with pressurized gas and sealant agent contemporaneously.
