+1 on the boot. I use a 1X3 inch oval cut out from the side of a milk carton. Works perfectly, super strong, and super thin. Plus it weighs practically nothing so I carry one with me at all times. I am running a similar boot right now on a 23 mm tire that picked up a 1/4 inch nail on Monday morning.
