I used Stan's. I keep a 2oz bottle in my saddle bag along with a valve wrench. When I flatted, I put about 1/2 the bottle in, rolled it around a bit, put in some additional air ~20psi, rolled it around some more (not sure if it was needed , but it seemed like the right thing to do), then pumped it up fully. had a bit of bubbling from the hole, I put that side facing down, and 5-10 sec later it was fine.
More details - thanks! Adding sealant after a puncture instead of using it as a preventative measure sounds like the way to go. At least by the time I hit the road with whatever I end up with, I'll have all the sealant tricks of the trade down thanks to the submissions here
