Hole a few mm long just above bead in maxxis lust tyre

Waste of time, sealant and washing up liquid trying to inflate?

not had much luck fixing sidewall holes with tubeless, think it's to do with the way the sidewalls compress/flex which in turn ****s the patch. Try a patch it may well work even if it doesn't for me ๐Ÿ™

Looks a bit close to bead to patch, but might be worth a go. Have got some motorbike tyre patches I've been having success with on other holes.

Interestingly my phone originally corrected my first line to "Marxist lust type".

Get a tube of Stormsure seam sealer / neoprene glue, clean the area well and blob a good bit on and leave for a day or so.

Not sure how big your hole is but it might be worth trying an anchovy:
