In my limited experience, tyres have sealed without goop.
How long do they stay inflated?

Do they "clunk" into place when you put air in? If not add another layer of rim tape. Though I can't think of a good reason not to use sealant. I built one of my Isen wheels last week and mounted the tyre first time, then added sealant and it has remained at pressure since then.

I've never had a tyre hold pressure for more than half an hour without sealant. Even if it pops onto the rim, it'll still leak pressure until the sealant forms a layer on the tyre bead.

I'm fucked if I can get my g-ones to hold pressure. I'm still building the bike so there's no sealant in there, but I rather thought they should seal without it- hopelessly naive?
