Mike,
The sealant will only seal small punctures. Larger holes and cuts just
aren't going to seal. You can try to patch it, but you are probably
going to need to get a new tire or run it with a tube.
Ii you need more advice the guys at cyclepath are the local tubeless pros.
Cheers,
Tony

Seems the Stan's can seal this hole when the tire is sitting, but when riding the sidewall flexes and the sealant fails. The sealant doesn't seem to be able to reseal the hole when rotating.
