My understanding is that whilst these sealants are effective (and they are) it does make a subsequent repair difficult as the hole is already sealed and therefore difficult to locate. The sealant will also adhere to a tube, should you subsequently fit one.
In the event of a puncture I suggest your priorities are:
1. Tubeless repair
2. Fit tube
3. as a last resort, use the sealant
But that's just my opinion

Hi Y'all
I have never bought or used a tyre sealant and hope someone may be able to recommend a cost effective brand that works well on small (thorn like) punctures.
My assumption is that this type of instant repair would be OK to use and would not hinder a subsequent more thorough long lasting repair. In addition to a comprehensive tubeless repair, I will also be taking a spare inner tube as a belt and braces measure.
Am I in danger of going OTT?
Will the residue left by the sealant make the subsequent repair more difficult/impossible?
Regards
