[MENTION=168558]Drillium Dude[/MENTION] - Jeff, If I was unclear, I glue all the way to the valve stem. the glue gap is opposite the valve, where you want to start removing the tire. I have taken the approach, by accident, applying glue to the entire base tape. The glue gap is only on the rim. Still sticky but not as much as where the glue is on the rim.
Maybe you need a second set of wheels to try glue! Then you can report on the differences and the preference.
