Check the valve too. A couple of months ago a slow leak eluded me, even with the water dunk test, because I omitted dunking the entire valve. Turns out a burr in the rim had nicked the rubber around the Schrader valve stem. That's where the slow leak was. I deburred the rim holes and replaced the tube.

Presta valves may not be as vulnerable to that sort of damage.
