Tyre weld (or similar)

[Ricco1]

I live on a narrow boat, keep my bike on the back of it. Because of this I regularly push my bike along the towpath until there's a gap in the hedge, so I can get it on a road. Towpaths are often hedged with hawthorn. They cut it back from time to time. The thorns from this bush are like nails! Several times now I've had flats, had to take the wheel in question to a shop to get it fixed. They do this by removing the thorns and putting an inner tube in.

I'm wondering whether tyre weld or something similar might be a solution to this, at least so I can ride the bike to the shop rather than having to carry the wheel for a mile or more. Does it work with tyres that have tubes in them? Might it be worth using in a preventative way i.e. use it on tyres without punctures so if a thorn goes in, the air stays in?

Cheers

Tyre slime.

But to be honest, fixing a puncture is pretty simple task. Loads of YouTube videos will show you how to do it.
