Slime washes off easily with just water, but your best bet is to get the tube vulcanised rather than repairing it with glue.

I would have thought any third-world tyre place would be able to do this for a couple of quid. Basically they cut a small piece of rubber to go where the hole is, then a larger piece of rubber to go over the whole area, use some sticky stuff to hold it in place temporarily, then place it between plates under pressure and heat the whole thing up. The pieces of rubber are fused to the original tube, see pic below.

I've had this type of repair done several times, once to a rear tube that had had slime in it.
