Hi. https://uk.gorillaglue.com/gorilla-contact-adhesive-tube/
Was wondering hypothetically if you had a puncture that was struggling to seal after being plugged. If you popped some if this over the plug and into the crack/hole would this be a viable temporary solution to getting you home? Then you can apply a patch inside the tyre, but if the sealant is struggling this in theory could assist? Anyone tried something similar?

I’ve used all kinds of strong all purpose adhesives to stick/seal things that hold air or water, and sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. In an emergency you improvise with the best thing you have to hand right?
But if I’m going to buy something to put carry on my bike for tyre emergencies, I’d buy the tyre glue that’s designed for puncture repairs. I’ve got some that I’ve used on car and bike tyre puncture repairs and it’s always worked.
Anything that gets you home is “viable”, but a contact adhesive is not designed for filling voids. A contact adhesive likes lots of flat clean surface area to bond to, and doesn’t do well with self-cohesion, so it’s not the family of adhesives I’d start with in terms of hole plugging.
