I'd just add I wouldn't use it either, get a puncture kit instead.

Cheers Mark.

When I've used it it's been good to me. Some tyre fitters don't like it claiming difficult to clean the excess of the rim but that's rubbish. Some of the other tyre sealing stuff can be terrible get off perhaps but not Ultra seal.
"Get me a rag and and clean it off myself" A minute or so and it's done.

I haven't used it for some time now but never had a problem at any speed. At the moment, Crafty plugger is what I use.

I used it for a while and liked it, but it's pricey. Never had problems. I'd much rather have a slow deflation with ultra seal than a tyre going flat in seconds while at high speed.

I'd rather know I've got a puncture than not, and that's not even taking into account the structual weakness that maybe happening without you knowledge ?

Me too and I reckon with ultraseal you're more likely to find out about it by a slow deflation rather than being dumped on your head. I don't think it will completely seal any hole that's threatening the structural integrity of the tyre, and you really should be checking your tyres for nails etc at the end of a ride anyway.
