Inner tube sealant in a tubeless tyre - world ending mistake?

I'm using two great looking Muc off products:
The Muc off inner tube sealant
And...
The Muc off tubeless sealant

I was doing a tyre day this weekend on my fleet, and realised ive put tubeless tyre sealant in my inner tubes and tubeless tyre sealant in my inner tubes.

Anyone have experience of making this mistake?
Will my inner tubes fail to seal? And will my tubeless tyres burp out completely on my first gentle ride?
Or will everything explode into a ball of flames??

Many thanks!
Max

Won't know till you try it out and get a puncture. If you want to be certain, then remove the tire, clean it out and put in the correct stuff.

I’ve used a Kenda tube sealant for setting up a Suomityres W240 ghetto tubeless. It has worked just fine once I’d built up the inner diameter of the rim a bit.

I've actually had great luck with plain old slime set up tubeless. It takes a lot to work but it does work pretty well.
