Crazy glue!?! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've often used those plugs with satisfactory results. Only once I can remember having a plug start leaking quite a while later.

One thing to beware of: NEVER use that fix-a-flat sealer goop inside a tire with a TPMS sensor mounted. It'll clog up the pressure port of the sensor.

you have to worry more about the fact that it can get into the sensor itself and damage it, or rusting/corroding the metals and making them brittle

Changed my snow tires to the summer tires this morning and noticed one of the summer tires had gone flat over the winter,looking at the tire i discovered a nail fully embedded, not to worry i have plenty of crazy glue so pulled the nail then put half a tube of crazy glue in the hole,couple of hours later went to the local air pump and managed to get 20psi in the tire before the crazy glue plug blew out

I'd say the myth is busted.
