Full disclosure: I have yet to use it myself; I'm being wary going this route simply based upon anecdotal evidence. Could be it works fine in the long run - but I have seen a photo or two of tubes treated with sealant. They ended up resembling link sausage when the sealant dried in clumps!

fwiw on tubes in clinchers I have had better results with sealling from Caffe Latex than I had with stans or orange seal.
