I have heard it works from a good few people never tried it myself. You need to be able to flip your boat around. This is difficult with a rib. Have you doused your boat with soapy water? Always better to fix a small leak then gum up the inside of your tubes. A trick is when checking for leaks to go section by section. Mark off what area you have covered and move on to the next. Also slow small leaks take time to make bubbles with soapy water so mix the soap up thick with the water and let it sit. Slow leaks leave bubbles that line up uniformly they are very small and hard to spot but make a distinct pattern as all the bubbles will probably be the same size.
I used liquid latex in mine, I think it was PolyMarine. I don't think the brand matters too much, but it made a big difference to mine, would lose air over 2-3 days, now stays for over a week. It's a shame it adds a bit of weight but really that's a small price to pay IMO
ive used it Luke on a sib you wouldn't believe would float again try rib store i think cheaper or poly marine. its all about getting it to the right places inside the best way apart from rolling it around is to take the valve out and have a spray pipe inside the tube tetroseal wax oil use to do a kit for spraying inside box sections on cars /trailers all it is is a pipe with a blank end that has a gap that doesn't seal off the pipe so you get a spray 360 degrees if you haven't a compressor you can use a garden sprayer that you pump up not expensive. the stuff is like milk and runs well dries in a film thats pliable.
if you have a specific area thats bad just make sure you leave the boat resting on the point so the stuff flows over it.
for local spots you could just turn upside down and inject with a seringe and leave until dry.
cheers
As far as I know the tyre sealants work on centrifugal force. So don't think it would work well in a rib.
its multi fibers in a liquid that block the hole once its in there its a bugger to get out for any permanent repairs and i would think the pressure is too low in a tube to keep it sealed plus the fabric thickness isn't that thick
