Yep thats I think how they are supposed to work, it stays a thick gunk in the tyre and if you get a puncture the escaping air takes the gunk with it and seals your hole,
Thing is that I have never liked the idea of not knowing that I have a hole (weak spot ) on my tyre,
So like you I carry a tin with me to both inflate and fill the hole that I know I have and then can get it fixed, but have never put it to the test as the 2 times I have had a puncture it was a masive screw/nail and left it there as the tyre was staying up as the nail goes in and kindly seals itself whilst I rode to the tyre garage.
