great free tire boot material

it doesn't prevent the tire from getting cut or torn, it simply bridges
the gap in the casing so the tube doesn't burst through under
pressure

I realize that. Thanks! But now I've destroyed a perfectly good FEDEX
envelope and you're telling me it won't work? Yaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

I've heard a folded dollar bill works well in a pinch. Since I am
usually carrying some cash anyway, I've stuck with that. Haven't
needed tot test it yet though.

A fifty works far better than a single...

ok
didn;t realize tyvek had longevity issues
it may depend on how big the hole is, what pressure you run, etc
the denim idea is good though

Fed Ex envelope will work just fine. It will prevent the tube from
budging through the tire. I'd booted plenty of tires with candy
wrappers and the boot stayed there for a long time. It will work fine
with small holes. You can get free UPS priority mail envelopes, as
many as you,like in the post office.

dollar bill works just fine. I've had a dollar bill in a tire before
and forgot that it was there.

indeed - my experience is with a 1/4" slit at 100psi. tube blew its way
through every 5 miles or so.

I've found that (mylar?)potato chip bags work well.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Thanks! I've been meaning to say something about that for a long time, but
I didn't want to be the one to get slammed for it! Does everybody have to
quote everybody else all the time? Perhaps we can either just cut and paste
the relevant material we are responding to OR not quote anything at all and
assume other readers will be able to follow the thread simply by reading it
in descending order.

The way things are now, you can sometimes scroll for 30-40 seconds reading
old garbage until you finally reach a response that says something like
"Yes" or "No, I've never tried them."

(BTW: Did you notice that I top-posted your quote?)
