So I pulled the trigger on a pair of carbon tubulars, bought two Vittoria EVO-CX to go with (21mm front, 23mm rear) and some Vittoria Mastik glue. I read a number of threaeds here, cdm's always useful blog, and ultimately decided to follow the instructions here: http://www.engr.ku.edu/~kuktl/bicycle/Cusa1.pdf. I stretched each tire for a day at 100+ psi, put the initial coats of glue on the wheels (2 coats) and the tire (1 coat), and allowed 24 hours for each coat to dry. Then I tried to glue the rear tire, following the instructions by applying a final coat of glue to the wheel, and then mounting the tire. Unfortunately, it seemed like some of the glue dried enough before I mounted the tire (only a few minutes max), and the bond didn't seem that great. Notably, when I pulled the tire away from the rim I couldn't see a lot of those tiny glue strands that I've seen pictures of. So I pulled the tire off, and decided that for the front, I would apply the final coat of glue to the tire, and then mount. That went much better, though it was difficult getting the last bit of tire on, so there now is some glue on the braking surface. Because this is my first time gluing, and I intend to race on these wheels, how can I make sure that the bond is strong enough to not roll off in a corner?

Also, any suggestions on how to take dried glue off a carbon rim would be greatly appreciated. I sent an email to the manufacturer to get their recommendations re solvents.
