Rodney,

The best way to get tire glue off of the tire is to not put it there. I mounted lots of tyres at Masi in the early days. Faliero would have a fit if there was ANY glue on any tyre. He showed me his method which works great. I'll explain it in detail when I have more time, perhaps this evening. In the meantime, stay away from the glue!

Brian Baylis Have you ever glued your fingers to your face? Seen it done, never tried it myself.
