Why do you want to use sealant instead of a patch kit? Sealant is at best, inconsistent, in sealing tubes.

Additionally the bottle you linked will not work very well with sealant as the opening is not wide enough to allow the coagulants to flow properly. Buy the Stan's bottle, you can refill and it works fine. You either want the injector to be wide enough to go over the valve stem or have a rounded end to fit right against the opening and shoot it in that way. Anything that fits inside the stem isn't going to be wide enough to properly inject any worthwhile sealant as they will plug the smaller hole. Those sorts of bottles are also low-quality and almost always leak, especially after the top has been removed a few times. I used them for sealant and lubricant for a while before I discovered them leaking after a few weeks.
