Rodney,
The best way to get tire glue off of the tire is to not put it there. I mounted lots of tyres at Masi in the early days. Faliero would have a fit if there was ANY glue on any tyre. He showed me his method which works great. I'll explain it in detail when I have more time, perhaps this evening. In the meantime, stay away from the glue!

Have you ever glued your fingers to your face? Seen it done, never tried
it myself.
