I was able to get a good seal on some WTB Riddler tires and Shimano non-tubeless rims that I did with one layer of Stan's tape and one layer of Gorilla tape to build up the bed a bit. Rode them around without sealant last night to test them out. Held fine for a short ride but were flat this morning. I'm looking forward to seeing how they skinnystrippers work.
