This is an experiment I am keen to replicate, Look forward to a full rundown including a 'how to' guide for n00b here...
500km on the Pave/latex/sealant over the last two weekends, running around 80psi, much comfort, one puncture (that I spotted) which was sealed a) when it happened and then again when b) I pulled the thorn out.
Mishaps include spraying myself in the face with sealant when tapping the valve stem prior to pumping action, but that's the kind of thing you do once.
I purchased the Cafe Latex injector, put ~40ml of TLR in each tyre, I'll remove said sealant when I get home to see what is left, and top up both tyres.
The rear Pave has lost it's nobbles in those 500km, be interesting to see how long they last - not very is my guess.

Ghetto version from 50 seconds onwards. Even more ghetto just poke a hole in the inner tube squirt in sealant and repair as for puncture. Eventually sealant goes sticky so don't store tubes with it in there.

Noticed that my front tyre was going down more rapidly than the rear - both latex, so deflation expected, just not the rate.
Sure enough there was a pretty big thorn stuck in the front tyre - the sealant meant that I'd not noticed the thorn going in, but it'd not been able to seal it perfectly hence the slow air leak.
I pulled the thorn out, span the wheel a couple of times and left it for ten minute to stop fizzing, then pumped it up and went to bed - worked perfectly this morning (without needing to put any more air in).
So sample size to one side for the moment I am happy with how this experiment is going.
