Two layers of Gorilla tape on a Kinlin XR22, tyre (Hutchinson Intensive) appears to get up to pressure but there's no telltale "pop" of seating in the rim. Doesn't hold at higher pressure, with air clearly escaping from the valve hole (no sealant yet). Deflates overnight and the bead works its way back into the rim channel.
Add more tape immediately, or give it a go with sealant?
