A couple of quid pro quos’ - from experience: 1) do not convert a tire - purchase tubeless ready or ust tires
2) fit the tire to the rim and inflate (best with a compressor. ) The tire will only hold air a couple of hrs but more importantly now you check the fit 3). More tape is not good - once around and overlap 75-90mm That’s about it Keep in mind even the best mechanics get the goo all over the place from time to time.
