Temporary Puncture Repairs

Am wondering what the general thoughts are on temporarily repairing tyre punctures when out on the road.

I've looked at a couple of threads on the board already about plugging punctured tyres etc on a more permanent basis. However, what I am interested in is when you're stuck miles from home with a puncture, besides call out the Breakdown Service, what do you do about it?

I've been reading about products like Ultra Seal, that I believe goes into the tyre before any puncture and then seals a hole when it happens.

I also know about stuff like Holts Tyre Weld that can be used after a puncture happens, fills the tyre with foam and away you go (for a short time anyway).

So my question is, with an impending 3500 mile European tour, do I fill my tyres with Ultra Seal or similar before setting out? Do I just carry a couple of bottles of Tyre Weld incase I get a puncture? Do I just leave it to chance and hope? Any better options?

Any thoughts much appreciated.
