As I said, Tufo tape is designed to work with Tufo tubulars, which have a seamless construction such that they lie very flat in the rim and apply an even force on the rim when they are inflated. This is important, because the Tufo tape has a glue in it that is activated by pressure, and might not get properly activated at the edges if the tire does not press down sufficiently. Also, the tape creates a gap between the tire and rim that can cause some squirming. Anyway, glue works great provided it is used correctly.
