I do not use brands consistently and can't remember which brands have that problem, but I think combining Vittoria (tires?) and Continental (glue?) have been problematic.
the adhesion properties of tape are not good. always let the glue cure and off gas for 24 hrs. mastik one or conti glues are the only ones that are worth using
