After trail testing this setup, there was an area of weakness that I felt could be improved without a huge cost. Using threaded valve stems would make the seal around the valve more robust.
Such as the Stans No Tubes option: amzn.to/2BJ7j8U or these ones: amzn.to/2TRWrgc
That said I rode a full week of trails (150km) with the valves as they are in the video and only had one case of needing to shake the tire sealant around to reseal the valve after adding air.
It's worth reading the comments below for more great tips on DIY Tubeless. In particular Robert Trageser's comments on the split tube method.
Items I needed to purchase to do this conversion:
Stans No Tubes Sealant : amzn.to/2IKooBV
Gorilla Tape: amzn.to/2pEHRLo
Valve Tool: amzn.to/2ylMii8
There are numerous benefits to running a tubeless set up. I wont go into the reasons here, but assume you've done the research and decided to give it a go. The cost of going tubeless can run from the very expensive option of new tubeless specific wheels and tyres, through to tubeless kits that include rim tape valve and sealant, all the way down to what we are showing here.
In fact, the total cost of this conversion was $10 worth of Gorilla tape and $20 for the sealant (both of which I used less than half). I also had to buy a valve tool that cost less than $5.
