All the cheap plug kits I've purchased come with cement that you coat the plugs with before inserting.
My double plug repair held the 1 day it needed to before I got new tires. I'd have driven it the full lifetime of the tire if I hadn't already scheduled to replace them. Perhaps it would fail, but it wouldn't be a big deal. I suspect it would have held up though.
I'd probably detect a 10 PSI drop in pressure just in normal driving.
