That fix-a-flat stuff is good for emergencies, but it should only be used if a spare isn't available, and the tire should be replaced at the first opportunity. It's also good to keep in mind that a lot of garages and repair shops won't touch a tire that's been inflated with the stuff. And then there are certain off-label uses that aren't recommended at all.
