Same exact experience here. Normally won't seal a tube and if it does it wont last long. Sometimes comes in handy though if you have a "very" small leak and need some air to get you to the next town.I would not use it on a bike unless it is a real emergency. it does not seem to work real well with innertubes either. I have tried it in the past when i was in a sticky situation, ie: 1200 miles from home with a flat rear tire, but it did not work. when i go on trips now i carry a patch/plug kit and an air compressor.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I used it in tube tires on a rented bobcat and it worked ok, got thru the job and I couldnt tell you how many holes were in the tires when we got done, but it was a lot.
I would only use it in an emergency on a bike, thorws the tire out of balance, but it will get you home

I bought this:

I was not a big fan of the plug method, but this seems to be a very good type of plug. I'm going to try it in the next week or so.
