Default Got a flat, what to do?

Heyy,
almost made it a whole year w/o a flat, but yesterday i got one
My lakota tires are tubeless, and the actual hole isnt very big, but its on one of the tread designs, i manages to put 3(!) plugs in but it still leaks.....so now what should i do......what stuff do u guys reconmend i should use/get?

i think i have to patch the inside of the tire, but what should i use?

thanks alot!

Slime

Slime I tell you

Dont put a patch on it
Forget about puttin a tube in it
I hit a culvert last fall...gotta 3/4 inch gash in my sidewall
Put 4 plugs in it and it dont leak a bit
But of course I have almost a quart of slime in it.
Go out and getcha a gallon.....little less than a qt. in the fronts
Little more than a qt. in the rears

If 1 plug wont do it then it is a big hole. Put some rubber cement on the plug and it should be fine.

My experience with slime, is that it works excellant. I put some in a flat three years ago, and it still is sealing just fine.
