Bite the bullet I say, and replace the tyre. I was in on the natter the other day that SoulKiss linked to. My mate got his DL tyre repaired and it failed a few days later. It was all good, no blowout - just a massive waste of a good riding day. The worrying thing was getting to inspect the tyre after it failed. The area where the puncture was, dead in the middle of the tread, was noticably weaker that any other part of the tyre. Felt like the carcass was MUCH thinner there. Put me off repairs for life it has.
