And also, the tire should be flat when you're putting in the plug, which, if you worked that hole enough, it will be.
Be careful at this point, it's really easy to go all the way through as the cement makes the plug really slippery, I've lost a plug that way, as they won't pull back through.

Other than that it's easy, I've saved lots of money plugging my own tires, only had one that was unrecoverable, as the nail went in on a really steep angle.
