If the tire is worn out, then just replace it.
The tough thing is when you put a hole in a tire that is nearly new.
Here was a recent thread about long-term boots.

I've had troubles with Park boots causing flats, or eventually wearing through.
I'm currently riding a tire with a radial tire patch on the inside for support, and a plain rubber patch on the outside for protection. I haven't tried tire liner, but that would be worth considering too.
