Lines: 10 I disagree. These products are very useful and will get you home in an emergency. Obviously, you shouldn't drive around on a tyre full of foamy gunk for weeks on end - you should take the tyre to be repaired properly (that means re-vulcanising, too) as soon as possible. You should use the product for the purpose for which it is designed (as a temporary fix) and not complain about its innadequacy concerning other uses (as a cheap, nasty and potentially dangerous way of repairing a tyre permanently).
