Any tips or is it all down to luck as to it staying up?
I did my best to follow the method outlined here:

Its my first attempt and so far I'm feeling optimistic given that more than a few people told me I'd need a compressor to get them sealed enough to hold air.
I suppose the proof will be in the pudding as they say and only riding on it will let me know the outcome.
I'll resist any urge to go fast down the hill where I live until it becomes obvious as to whether I might hope for some longevity from the seal.
I've my fingers crossed it'll still be holding air when I get up in about 7 hours tomorrow morning.
