As title suggest. Got a small 3m slit in tread of tyre. Sealant took a while but fixed it. Added more sealant. Tyre holds pressure but it still weeps. Not much. Should I just leave it or glue it?

Have you tried using a repair plug? If it's still weeping then the hole isn't properly sealed and you run the risk of the sealant failing when you are in the middle of nowhere.

Sounds like the hole is just too big for the sealant bits to fill, or perhaps they’ve congealed elsewhere. As Klunk says, patch it. I bought a load of proper mushroom patches off eBay - with a metal sprag that you can pull through the hole from the outside. Used with the proper rema tubeless glue, these provide a permanent repair and will render the tyre good as new.

small 3m slit

To be fair, 3 metres is a huge slit. I doubt that'll seal. 😉

Ha, missed an m. Felt like a 3m slit the amount of sealant it pissed out initially.
