Bead sealant

Used some today for a pesky 2-3 psi/12 hours. All is well. Peace of Mind. I'll use it on every tubeless change from now on.

I had the same issue, and used bead sealant from NAPA.

Some people just deal with a slow leak, maybe hoping it will fix itself.  ???

Is that different than the tire change lube?

But, after I cleaned my rear rim really well last time I haven't had the problem again.

The bead sealant that I have is far from tire lube. It is more like a rubberized paint. I've used it on badly scratched rims that won't seal to the tubeless tires, and it seals them. It has to be reapplied each time.
