I'm a little late to the party here... But after reading this whole thread, I noticed that no one recommended Safety Seal +Plus+ The Liquid Patch
This is the system I've been using for years in Baja...and in my experience, (10 patches do far) it is the most effective way to repair a tire in the field. The repair never leaks. Never.
I used to use just yarn repairs, but often did not get a good repair.
It's basically a typical yarn repair but uses their special goop (liquid patch) to seal the inserted yarn repair from the inside.
Their special prep cleaner-primer is wiped on the inside at the wound to prepare the surface for the goop so it will stick. And stick it does. No grinding or buffing of the tire is required.
Tire has to be dismounted.
I reseat the bead with ether (spray starting fluid).
Stuff is awesome.
