They only thing, and maybe that is the point is tapes are more gummy, so and break/crack in glue would re-bond well. I think the answer might just be use a gummier glue. But Mastic One seems to be that anyway. I expect I'll be gluing some up in the next few months.
I used Mastic One and I have had zero problems with my glue job so far after a few practices and races. Keep in mind this is my first time and I may have just been lucky. However, after talking with a few others I have a feeling that the people I have talked to that rolled tubulars may have not followed directions. In fact one guy that rolled a tubular next to me in a race, bragged right before the start of that race how he only ever needed to put on one layer of glue on the rim before putting on his tires.
