I was thinking they were very sticky, but it has been a couple years since I needed to boot a tire, so I may have forgotten.
Most recent flat (a week ago) was yet another one of those damned little wires shed by worn out steel-belted tires, so no boot needed.

I'm thinking the next time I change out a worn tire, it would be an interesting experiment to put a cut across the tread like the OP, then test booting with a dollar bill, then test it with the Park boot.
