  I put a bottle (really 1.5) of a product called Seal and Balance in the
tires of my 83 Nighthawk 750.
  Its supposed to seal punctures up to 1/8 inch as thet happen.  This 
particular product seals by viscous action as opposed to other products
that seem to seal by "melting" about 1/16 in layer of the inside of your
(tubeless) tire.

  I wonder if anyone out there has had any experience with either of these
products "in action".  Some have told me to stay away from the latter type
of product as it will eventually "eat" your entire tire from the inside out.
  I await a puncture with my "Seal and Balance" tires ... always carrying a
can of tire inflator/sealer just in case.  (I guess thats like wearing a
belt and suspenders).

  In any case, do these "seal as they happen" products work ?
