I did this as well, user error in a couple of ways. I usually ran the tires at 40 but pumped this one up to 55 or so to seat. Also, it was cold in the garage so I took the wheel inside and set it near a heating vent so the sealant would stay fluid until it got wherever it needed to be. Thankfully I was in another room when it exploded. It was very loud! The tire was on one side of the room, wheel on opposite side and sealant everywhere including the ceiling. It was hard to see but the tire bead was damaged. It wouldn't hold a seal tubeless and even with a tube it didn't sit evenly. Newish GravelKing into the trash.
