There are tons of good options. Many are pretty inexpensive. I'll include this picture only because I've had the most luck with rubber seals that are in the form of a cone, such as the seals on the far right side of this variety. This design seems to "wedge" into the rim hole with the best seal.
agree, my valves have flat rubber seals and not a cone design, this means when you tighten it down the rubber 'tacos' and I reckon lets the air under the tape.
I've always made a 20mm square 'washer' from old inner tube rubber, pierced centrally, and pushed the valve through it so there's more rubber to compress and seal between the valve base and the inner rim. Works a treat.
Haha! I was just looking at those on Amazon!
Some know it as Teflon tape. There’s also a Teflon paste, used for plumbing threads, that emits a very strong oder. Offensive to some but I loved the smell of it …probably not good to inhale.

Hear some items and tools that I use for tubeless tires.

I’m slowly switching over to Filmore valves.
. Them tyre levers look like even I couldn't break them. Lot more to the tubeless game than everyone thinks. Interesting to read all the tips.
After snapping a few plastic tire levers and accidentally scratching some rims with metal-inserted tire levers, I decided that the CushCore levers were a better choice. A generous bike mechanic showed me a few tricks and techniques as well.That's some kit there
. On average I probably change one tire per2 weeks for neighbours, friends, family. Most of them donate or provide their own sealant. Having a shop compressor is pretty handy also for quickly popping those beads.

The custom tire holder/garbage bin helped a lot also
The occasional person feels compelled to pay me but I don’t accept. They give me a gift-card instead for a LBS. Usually I order another tool…and the cycle continues.
I’m starting to gather a few spare rims also as everyone upgrades their wheels.
Oh, wow. At first I thought you were a gynecologist!Some know it as Teflon tape. There’s also a Teflon paste, used for plumbing threads, that emits a very strong oder. Offensive to some but I loved the smell of it …probably not good to inhale.

Was it the small sealant bottle or that funny-looking tool?Oh, wow. At first I thought you were a gynecologist!
It was the collection of funny-looking tools and specialized objects. My jokes are often in poor taste, and/or not funny. I'm frequently the only one to get a chuckle out of them.Was it the small sealant bottle or that funny-looking tool?
I’m a nothinglogist btw
Same here sometimes. I could solve that by not saying anything at all…but that wouldn’t be funny or helpful or risky or thoughtful or…
