What do you mean "patched it proper?" If the plug is not the best method of dealing with this, I'm on my way back to the tire guy for the patch method. It was a small nail, maybe 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch long and very skinny. But I'd rather spend a few more dollars now and get this thing done "right" the first time and not have to deal with it again.
