hi a few weeks back I picked this up in my back wheel
That a $0.20 cent coin
Pick that up about 2km's for home got home with it in wheel. Pulled it out, spinned the wheel a few times pumped up but will not hold over 35ish PSI.
It will seal and hold below that fine but is just a bit soft for we.
What should I do/try ????
Tubeless got screw in wheel what to do??? Fixed

You are very tedious, and grumpy. Stay at home and give advice from your armchair.

What sort of patch? One from a tube kit?? Or what to use as a boot?

Did you open the link? It has pictures. Really useful pictures. And yes, if you look carefully you'll see they use a regular old tube patch.
You wouldn't need to use a boot with a hole from a screw. Boots are only useful when you have a slash in the tyre. In the case of tubeless, the sealant won't help you there so you'll need to put a tube in. The boot will stop the inflated tube herniating out of the cut in the tyre. You can use a lot of things, snack bar wrapper, 5 dollar note (bit messy when it gets sealant all over it though) or if you're me, you cut a section of sidewall out of a worn out tyre.
A boot is meant to just sit in loose, not be glued in place like a patch.

Why? It's an American website. That's how they do it.Gabe wrote:I cringed every time I read the word "tire"
What annoys me is when local media spells things the American way. Like jail, donuts and color. Eugh...
