I've tried patching tubeless tyres a few times and none of them have been entirely successful.

I've got a small slice in a brand new STR that has sealed ok, but it's the kind of cut that'll just weep forever more, accelerating sealant drying out.

Can anyone recommend good patches / technique?

As it's a clean slice rather than a hole, I'm not interested in plugging it.

Hutchinson Rep'Air or Velox Tubeless Repair Kit. Clean area around cut, roughen it with sandpaper then two layers of cement, letting it almost dry both times before applying patch.

Thanks, I've tried the velox kit and it was the closest I came to success but I didn't do two layers of cement or let it almost dry.

I'll grab another and give your method a go, cheers

I've repaired more than 10 tires with TipTop Tubeless patches. Highly recommended.

Here's a picture of a recent repair:
