Yes it works ok.

It finds a leak and seals it. Thats ok if the leaks at the cones or the lower part of the tubes where you can get the sealer to. If your leaks in the middle of the tubes, on the top its not ideal. The sealers probably best on SIBS where you can roll it about and cover a greater area
