How long have you had the tire back on your rim. I wouldn't be surprised if your tire blows through the threads...well that happened to one of my sprinters after I used mastik one to on a small section of the basetape. You should use latex emulsion, but getting the tape glued down is a bit of a chore.

try http://www.worldclasscycles.com for the patch.
