I'm not using a sealant to repair the tire. I'm using a plug that is stuffed in the puncture. I have used them over the years without any problems.
Incidentally, today tire repair shops won't plug tires, but this is only a TEMPORARY repair until you can get to a tire shop which is what I do. Of course, you can spend a hundred bucks to have your car flat bedded in.
Sometimes you don't even have to plug the tire. Just filling it up with air will get you to a repair shop. Thus it is a good idea to first try filling the tire with air to see if it will stay up for a while before pulling the nail or whatever.
BTW, the jack is really necessary to take the weight off the tire either to move it to locate the puncture or to air it.
