Well, I guess this thread still has some interest, so I'll keep it open. Cool.
Here is the first video I made. (shows BMX bike front tire that had a wooden thorn in it. I don't know where the kid rode it to get that, but ok. )

Here is a video I made where I deliberately puncture the tire (BMX front tire, same bike, with bald old tire) several times with a deck screw through a 2x4, to test.

Result: 1 of the holes was too big or too high (close to rim strip) to get wet and seal good. Gave up and patched the tube conventionally. (scuff with boot knife, add tire glue and dry, add vulcanizing patch).
