I always carry that green slimy stuff and a compressor. so far I never
had to use it but have shared it with a friend when his rear tire went.
not a permanent fix but held for a couple hundred miles till we were
able to get to a shop. you do need to replace the tube after using it
but heck you should replace the tube instead of patching it anyway. I
does make a mess that requires a few paper towels to wipe out the inside
of the tire.

<pre wrap=""> I've diagnosed and fixed a few problems on my Eldo on the roadside -
nothing too major. But one that looks really difficult (because I've
never done it) is repairing a tube tire. Just what is involved in doing
this job and what tools are required? I suspect a nice set of tire
irons is required, patch kit and a way to inflate the tube. But is
there a difficulty rating?
