Default Flat Tire Repair---------

I have some rear turf tires on my Cubs that seem to hold air for a day or 2 but eventually go flat. These are tubeless tires. I checked the valve stem areas and found no leaks. Then I checked the tread areas and found a nail in each tire. Then I got a tire repair kit from Slime with the short rubber "ropes" and installed them but am still getting leaks. does anyone have any tips on getting these things to seal???

Per directions I am--
--airing up tire and squirting with some soapy water finding leak
--making sure that the tire is then clean in the hole area
--using reamer in kit to clean hole lighty
--install rope on tool at halfway point on the rope
--apply rubber cement to rope at the tool area
--push tool with rope installed till approx. 1/2 inch of rope tails are sticking out of tire
--pull tool straight out leaving the rope repair in the tire
--apply air gradually to fill tire to spec.
-- mount and drive

Anything I am missing???

Thanks!!!
