Which compressor for tubeless?

I saw this and thought of this thread.

"LARGE 5KG TUB OF REMA
TIP TOP BLACK WHEEL SEALER

CREATES AN AIR TIGHT SEAL ON BOTH ALLOY
WHEELS AND CORRODED STEEL RIMS

QUICK AND EASY TO USE

BRUSH ON THE BEADS OF TUBELESS
TYRES DURING MOUNTING

THIS IS A BEAD LUBRICATE AND SEALER ALL IN ONE

MUCH CLEANER AND EASIER THAN THE BLACK STICKY
MESS YOU GET FROM NORMAL BEAD SEALER"

5Kg? What's that 10,000 wheel changes?

This stuff won't be much use for cyclists. You paint it on rims or bead and when the tyre is seated, sets around the seal. But there is no liquid inside to seal a thorn or small slash.

I think it was only mention for tyre seating, rather than use as tyre sealant

Yes, this, as on new tyres this is quite likely to be the failure mode that the OP has, especially given the new tyres.

I have just made a ghetto tubeless compressor ,
3lt pop bottle with two valves in the cap .
one length of camel back pipe , pumped it up to 60psi and it sent a knard up on a dually rim first time.
apparently you can pump it up to 100 psi but I value my life and hearing so I didn't .

I use WD 40 to get motorbike tyres on - non corrosive obviously, slippier than washing up liquid and helps to really stick the tyre to the bead.

Well, I may have just wasted 3 pages of your time!

I have cleaned out the previous sealant and stuck an extra layer of rim seal on the rear tyre as it did not look perfect. Stuck in some 2-3 year old Stan's fluid, inflated with the track pump and all looking good! May go down overnight but that has occurred on previous set ups and usually settles down and works second time..

Thanks for your assistance though and I may try the pop bottle in the summer.

This was the offending sealant:
