I have a couple of 'sets' of glue, but have not used them as the Carogna or Mastik One have been fine. I do find that on my Look 695, tire clearance is more constrained than my C59. With 25mm FMB's, I can;t fit them on the Look (the tape is thicker than the three layers of glue). The Vittorias were no problem.
Are those FMB road tires you've used Carogna with? I have a friend who was unsuccessful using it with FMB CX tires; something about the basetape is different from other standard tubulars.
