I can't stans it when the product is unable to seal the deal for the entire tire. Sometimes, after filling the tire with a slightly higher amount of sealant, applying a layer onto the bead areas right before seating/inflation takes care of the rim leaks.

Yesterday one of my relatively new Schwalbe Pro One tubeless was punctured by dog knows what - I was on a gravel path at the time - I now know these tires are not suitable for light off road. The hole is on the tread and not the sidewall. Tried bacon plugs (2 separate attempts) and both failed, and one backed out. Perhaps the remaining sealant was inhibiting proper adhesion? The hole is probably .25mm in size. Was thinking of using a standard tube patch on the inside of the tire and then cover the patch with some Gorilla Tape.
Who has had success with an internal patch and what did you use?

yup. Never had an issue with MTB plugs using bacon as well, but the pressure on the road tires just pushed the things out.

Might as well throw my hat into the ring to Dynaplugs. I have used a Dynaplug just once on a 160km fondo ride. Worked like a charm and I was able to finish the ride without issue.
