Brian,
I used the stuff from West Marine (http://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--inflatable-boat-sealant--444679) a few months ago. It works great! My dinghy had a slow leak and required pumping up every few weeks. It has been two months since inflating my dinghy and I have not had to use the pump. You do have to follow the directions and keep turning the dinghy over (fore/aft & port/starboard) to coat the interior. The liquid can be poured in through the fill connections. I have a West Marine dinghy which has three capped connections with removable inserts that are used to let the air out. They should be removed to fill the dinghy with the sealant.

It has been a challenge ever since I purchased it. Dealing with keeping it clean, managing it at the marina (no dingy racks), repairs, etc. has not been fun. My current issue is a slow leak in the forward seam. I have read about a sealer that can be inserted through the air hole and is supposed to seal the seam from the inside. Several questions: has anyone had any experience with this repair, how do you get the sealant into the air hole (it seems to be too small to pour it in), do you have to remove the air intake valve, does it work, what is the best product and where can I get it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Brian Brian C. Morrison S/V Rekofa, The Blue Whale 1979 C&C 34 Baltimore, MD
