I then gave it a burst of 140 psi from my pressure canister after I put about 45 ml of Effetta Mariposa foaming latex sealant into the tire before mounting that last bit of unmounted tire bead with my gloved hands. It popped into place in a most satisfying way and as of last night when I went to bed, it was holding air fine.

This is not yet a zombie thread, just my very slow time frame for resolving mechanical roadblocks that I encounter.
