A - No!
Ultraseal is a preventative maintenance tyre additive and was designed primarily to be utilized prior to a tyre receiving damage from puncturing objects and/or interior damage caused from operating tyres underinflated.
After installing Ultraseal, the vehicle is driven a minimum of 3 to 5 miles (5 to 8 km), however it is not imperative to drive the vehicle immediately. For Ultraseal to perform its preliminary functions, the tyre and Ultraseal must go through an initial conditioning period, at which time Ultraseal will have completely coated and conditioned the inner surfaces of the tyre/rim.
When a puncture occurs, the Ultraseal coating encapsulates the puncturing object. When the puncturing object is removed or ejected, Ultraseal is drawn into the wound by the capillary action of the escaping air, the wound closes up (rubber recovery) thereby trapping the Ultraseal repair/clot. The repair/clot cures and becomes non water-soluble to protect the inner structure from outside contaminants.
The Ultraseal repair/clot is only as strong as the tyre and can not hide or mask a dangerous wound.
