I had a fairly large hole from a 10 penny nail that got jammed in my tire one day. It did not leak at all which shocked me, and I was able to make it home. I had to use pliers to pull it out, but the sealant would not close it even after I put two plugs in it. The tires were pretty new, only 200 miles give or take. I took the tire off, clean it up, let it dry, then dropped some super glue around the plugs, inside and outside the tire and let it setup for a couple of days. Remounted, added in the sealant, and I have about 2k miles on those tires now and have not had any problems with the plug. I was a little nervous the first couple of rides, so I stayed close to home in case I had to walk back, but I don't even think about it now, like it never happened.
