Nah, they seated without it. If they don't stay up tonight I'll have a roll them through the bath and look for any bubbles around the bead and stuff.

Getting them seated is only part of the setup. If there are gaps around the rim/tyre interface you have to shake the wheel to get sealant to the right place.
Don't use a bath, the air loss is too slow to notice. Soapy water will show up patches of bubbles as the air slowly seeps out.

Dave's got some magic spray shit at the workshop, spray round rim, bubbles appear, wipe off. Pop in and nick some if you need.

Did you cover the wheel with a soapy solution ? Especially where the rim and the tyre meet. if you notice bubbles forming then shake the wheel around so the sealant gets to the unsealed spots.
