Hi,
I'm in the process of glueing a tire that was previously mounted on another rim to a new rim. Do I need to add glue to the tire again or is the residual glue enough? When I pulled the tire off the old rim (which was a chore and a half) the glue seemed "powdery." Also what should the consistancy of new glue be? In other words how "liquidy" (or wet) should it be? I bought some Hutchinson glue for tubular tires. It seems a little "gooey" and not "runny" enough. As I apply a bead to the new rim (prepped), the glue itself pulls out more glue from the glue tube without me having to squeeze it. The glue doesn't spread like the rubber cement that I'm used to using when patching an inner tube. Might my glue be old?
Thanks,
