Well, was checking torque on my rims yesterday
when I noticed a nail head sticking out oif my left tire!
I was going to try plugging it myself, at least temporarily
so off I go to get a plug kit and vulcanizing rubber glue
got home took the tools out laid everything out
put the strip in middle of tool
reamed out the tip on the tube of rubber glue
then pulled the "nail" out.
Turns out it was just a little finishing or wood screw which
didn't penetrate the tire, rode it then checked this morning
no air loss.
Next time that happens I'll pull out whatever is in there FIRST,
maybe save me some time, at least I didn't glue the strip...LOL
