   I read the description. It is water based, so it can be washed off with   
   water before it hardens. I guess it works like some water-based glue. It   
   will harden to seal the leak but remain liquid inside the tire. It is   
   recommended by the manufacturer to have the tire professionally patched   
   within 3 days (I guess it is the company protecting against lawsuits). I   
   read many customer comments that it stopped their slow leak. That kind   
   of slow leak might be in the rim area, nothing to do with nail puncture.
