I would also consider that a one time use tube as it more than likely will be dried up or un-openable latter on. There is a new Flexible Super Glue that I hope to try out soon. For multiple flats fixes I use a larger tube of cement that I keep in the frig...

Edit: Checked out the prices on Loctite Flexible Super glue... Still too expensive for just throwing in my patch kit... Maybe latter...
