Check response #7 listing the 3 tapes...
I have had poor air retention mostly. When I remove the tire and sealant, then remove the tape - the tape sometimes folds inward a bit, isn’t completely adhered in places and you can see a track of wet sealant that runs in a line between several spoke holes. Having to use tubes to get the tape to sit perfectly flush is one trick I tried - the tape can be stiff and inflexible, this is why I am now trying setting it in with a blow dryer and my fingertip or fingernail and skipping the time consuming extra step of running a tube for a while then removing the tube to complete the tubeless valve/sealant install...
