OK - this is the "redneck" answer, so don't shoot me.  I'm trying to get
over my past...

Most of the "flat stop" products won't fix a bead leak, they never get
there.  They are OK for thorns.

You are going to have to break the bead one more time, but don't take the
tire off.  Get a tube of
silicone and "glue" the bead on the rim.

I've seen it done, but don't know how long it lasted.  I wouldn't trust
anyones life on such a repair, etc...
