Like the 1st guy said; seal it then drive for a while. If you seal it and park you will for sure be out of balance. Stuff works. If you see whatever punctured the tire leave it in the tire until you can properly repair it.

I live in The Big Brown Land to.
I have been told never use anything like that in bike tyres.
Take a Plug Kit and a foot/hand pump.
Then when you get to a town, look for a tyre shop and get Mushroom plugs put in, the tyre needs to be taken off the rim for this.
This is the best solution for your query.
Stay Upright and Keep the dirty side down.

I don't know about balance, but once you use the sealant, most tire shops will tell you that the tire/tube can't be patched anymore, and a new tire is needed. Seems the patch won't stick once sealant is used. But hey! If you're stuck out in the sticks, ya need a way to get home, so go for it.

Nope. Because it says on the label, fill with sealant and then drive a few miles so that the G-forces distribute the sealant evenly.

Chad is on to it I think. I know the green slime, while I have used small amounts in my front is only recommended for low speed tires as it will create imbalance. I can't vouch for Ride on I havent used it but it sounds like it might be worth a try.

Get Ride On, Not Slime.
Ride on helps balance your tires, Slime is not good and a mess to clean off.

well, you're tires can be thrown off balance at any time naturally. yes, it probably will and it would be best to get the tire balanced. even if it's not right away, as soon as you're able to I definately would.

Apparently no. It doesn't plug holes either.
