[Closed] Tyre sealant in tubes - doable? Worth it?

Looking to give my Puffin some defence from thorns.

I realise that tubelessing Nates is possible but if honest I would rather stick with tubes as the tyres are so loose on the rims!

Going back to the 90s I ran "slime" in a couple of tubes and that seemed to work okay if a little heavy.

Does modern sealant work in tubes in the same way it does in tyres?

All suggestions very welcome.

Tried Stans in a tube and it punctured first ride out.
I am the world's unluckiest person with tubeless though.

I do it seems to work for me. I've given up on tubeless.
