Maybe it’s been discussed before but if not this might help with wheeleez leak issue.

Went out to Monterey yesterday and found out one of the tire had a slow leak that I did not notice before.  The tire will keep its rounded shape with little pressure in it so it might be too late to know btw.
Anyway today I found the pin hole. Took out the valve with a valve remover from my road bike kit. Injected road bike tubeless sealant inside the tire and let the fluid sit around the leak area. Reinstalled the valved.  Pressurized the tire and tilted tire to keep fluid in general area of hole. After a few seconds the hole was plugged. No more leak!😁

I don’t know about using the liquid patch. Here is an old YT on patching

Thanks for the tip Allen.

I guess I’ll do both with the sealant inside and the soldering iron on the outside😂
Thanks
