If it's pre-glued, how do you keep the glued surfaces from adherring to each other while the tire is in your saddle bag, or wherever?

Best tubular folding technique:

I get more flats on sew-ups than clinchers... I don't know why but I do. Most of my flats on all tire types are cuts and thorns, very few pinch flats. Haven't tried Pit Stop but I've used Seal & Flate, and Presta Seal which do pretty much the same thing and do work. Once you get the stuff in there it keeps on working so you don't need another can. I do use a pump instead of CO2 for tubulars though because most of my tubular flats are slow leaks and I can just keep topping them off.
Never done a century on tubulars but I wouldn't say no.
