if that's the choices, then Sticky String plug...never, ever, use slime...it's corrosive to rims, clumps up, and is despised by tire changer personnel. It is not water soluable like "Ride On" which is removed completely by running water out of a hose over the rim in less than a minute.

My 
and again, personally (can you say anal or never dropped the Boy Scout habits), I semi annually purchase from the local Slime product auto parts store a pack of spare sticky strings and another tube of cement. If I use some strings and cement (they hit the air from being removed from the blister pack), then I carry spare sealed sticky strings and spare cement still sealed in the blister pack. Yes, the cement will deteriorate pretty quick once the tube is pierced and opened so get some more right away, and the strings will slowly deteriorate once the blister pack is opened and some are used.+1
Be aware, there are basically two types of "sticky string"repair kits. The type Patriot posted is a nylon string core with a rubber sheath around it and comes with adhesive. It self-vulcanizes the rubber sheath to the tire rubber and is a more effective repair.
The cheaper versions, available at any discount auto parts store, may not come with the adhesive and the "sticky" is impregnated in the nylon string.
The rubber-sheathed version is better and only slightly more expensive. The cheapies CAN come out, much easier than the glued-in version.
However, that all being said, even the cheap "sticky string" is better tnan NO "sticky string," especially when you're 1500 miles from home and you just found someone's lost phillips screwdriver in your new rear Avon and it's 2am. DAMHIK

You are correct that is what the "plug man" used....................glad to hear it all held together for you. I still have my plug in and seems to be holding up well. Oh and by the way no one has suffered any flats that I have been riding with lately...........

I had both my tires changed this week - the front one was pretty scalloped and no point in pressing my luck on the rear plugged one. Looking forward to a little test run this evening since we have SUN here today :yahoo: 
I carry both a Slime delux sticky string plug kit, extra strings, extra cement
I'm a fan of the Stop and go. Some on the forum aren't, but I've had good luck with it. Used it on numerous bike flats and one on my car tire.I carry both a Slime delux sticky string plug kit, extra strings, extra cement
and a Stop n Go mushroom plug kit - the delux one with the gun
also one right hand work glove (learned it's needed for reaming a steel belt radial tire with hand damage)
and a pair of nitrile gloves (working with a dirty tire/wheel)
