Seems to work fine.

I put some Vittoria Rubino 28mm on and got a flat after 93 miles: 1.5mm glass shard in front tyre.
Did some research and put some Orange Seal in it, spun the wheel, and put some air in.
A few drops spurted out of the hole, but it sealed after about 2 secs.

I've done about 900 miles since then and haven't had any pressure drops, so either it's working very well
or it's had nothing to do.
