Is it possible to render a tubular tubeless by putting too much sealant in? or is it just sealant trapped between the tube and the casing coming through?
I expect this is the case.
I busted a CX tub earlier this year and fixed it with sealant, same issues problems that you describe. TBH I don't trust it now and it's off the rim with a replacement waiting to be glued on.

Bruce Dalton won the Central League this weekend, with 15 psi in his tyres, using Carogna. I 'd be tempted to give it a go next year, if I can't sort out tubeless properly.
I punctured a cross tub this weekend. I initially put 25ml of sealant in, most of which was expelled pretty much immediately after pumping it up to 20psi. I put 25ml more in and went a bit easier on the pump and it now seems to be holding air but I'm seeing sealant coming out of the sidewalls, like I would if I was converting a clincher to tubeless.
