Okay using tire sealant is better than being stuck with a flat tire. But Tire sealant is awful. The sealant makes a mess. The tire sealant can also damage TPMS sensors. All in all a tire plug kit and compressor is a much better option to make a quick tire repair.

I literally had this happen to me today changing a customers tyre, this stuff is like glue and made such a mess of the tyre machine, I used a whole tin of brake cleaner to clean the machine.
First car of the day, nothing worse than breaking the bead, getting blasted with 2 cans worth of fix-a-flat and smelling like cat piss. "Sensor safe", biggest lie ever lol
Tire sealant smells weird and is a pain to clean
Tire sealant left long enough will eat the rim
Just get a plug. I’ve had to do one tire and it has two plugs in it.
My car doesn’t have a spare wheel either! Happy for run flats
If you come in for a patch and don't tell us you used sealent and we popped that tire and it sprays us, you get a tire and a rim with the spare put on your car.
Fix it with those plug kits at Walmart.
Keep plugs in your car.
Don't pull the foreign object out until you reach a shop
