I bought some Xtra Seal Bead Sealer from O'Reilly's. It was a little more expensive than I thought it was going to be, about 12 bucks for a 32oz can.

The stuff works pretty good. It seems you have to put it on pretty heavy to stop the leaks, well at least for me I had to. I just wonder what the long term effects are, for example, is it going to make the beads harder to break?

Since your tire has a slice in it, it may not work but still worth a shot. How big is the slice?
