I'd recommend against those Park Tool boots. I tried them and the sharp edges ended up wearing cuts in my tube. Park Tool recommends that they be used only to get you home, not as a long term fix. Denim sounds like a better idea.
I'm going to cut up an old tire, cut the beads off of a section, and stick some 2-3" pieces in my seat bag.
