The proper way is to take the tire off the rim and apply a combination plug-patch to the inside of the tire. If you don't have a tire mounting machine, take it to a mechanic or a tire shop. I think the tire department at Wal-Mart charges around ten bucks to do this, and I've seen mechanics charge anywhere from $5 to $20.
