The last set of tyres I changed after about 18 months use looked like a pincushion on the inside. About 6 or 7 thorns in both back and front tyres - never knew they were there, the sealant is that good. No loss of pressure either.
I carry a tyre plug repair kit with me for holes bigger than about 5mm which I am told is the limit of the Stans liquid. Never had to use it so far.
When you change tyres, a wipe with a rag cleans off the old liquid. It only goes 'rubbery' where it meets atmospheric air - around the tyre bead and where you have had a puncture.
I am completely sold on the stuff and (this is probably tempting fate) have never had to stop for a puncture during an event.
