Hi All,

I've noticed that all the non-yellow or non-pink sew-ups I find in stores lately have base tape that is loose in some places? What's the best way to reattach it? I've heared contact cement or liquid latex. I tried liquid latex last night and the results weren't very good. Is it better to pull all the tape off and reglue it just to be sure? What about cleaning the glue residue off the tape?

On a related matter, a tire I glued on last fall with Tubasti pulled right off, and the cement was dried out and crumbly. Should I try a different cement, or did sitting near the furnace all winter do it? Thanks.
