Bead sealer is just a latch ditch resort to fix a problem. I consider it the same as running Lucas in the sump to fix an oil burning problem. Fix the problem, not the symptom.
If the bead of the rim and and the bead of the tire are not damaged and clean, it will not leak. If either one is damaged, it requires replacement.
