As far as the 3M stuff goes, you want 08031, they also make an 08001. I've used it before, when Pep Boys was out of 08031 and I needed to mount a tire so I could ride the next day. I don't know if I would trust it as much as 08031 though. It was during the winter so I was commuting and doing long rides, not criteriums.

Like I said someone tested a bunch of rim cements though and Vittoria Mastik One was better than Fast Tack. It was a stronger adhesive and it reached it cured faster than Fast Tack.
