Default Tyre 'Ultra seal' anyone used it recommend it?

I have been reading about Ultraseal recently and it seems a great product-has anyone used it, can it really be as good as it says-are there any down sides?
Cheers

Thinking of getting some myself after a recent flat in the FRS. Can get enough for all 4 tyres for £36.

Does seem a real bargain-but doesn't seem to be very well known

Have heard off a few bikers that use it, swear by it.

Bro-in-laws mate had his back tyre changed recently, had 2 nails in, never lost any pressure.

Ah, can't see it, i'm at work.

Made some enquiries about run flats for the FRS, not do-able, and my supplier said most of them are shit.
