I haven't tried it myself, but every atempt I've seen by others has
failed. Given that conventional patching methods work well, and that
the materials are readily available and inexpensive (and produce a
result that can be ridden in minutes, not hours), I have had no urge
to investigate whether it would work.
The tubeless tire patching methods I have seen recommended involved
the use of a special type of cyanoacrylate glue, not RTV.
