I was slightly concerned with the two layers of tape reaching quite high on the side of the rims but went ahead anyway
This is fine

I didn't hear it pop but it seems to have taken its place.
If you tape it edge to edge, then it's likely you may not hear the bead popping in place.
Make sure you didn't tighten the valve too much; this is usually the main cause of tyres deflating (if the tyres and rims are fine).

Just had a first go at this with Gorilla tape on Kinlin rims with G One tyres and it held 120 psi. I didn't hear it pop but it seems to have taken its place. I was slightly concerned with the two layers of tape reaching quite high on the side of the rims but went ahead anyway. Now going down slowly in terms of pressure and thinking of just adding sealant and pumping again. Pumping with simple track pump.
