The warning was it tends to loosen the base tape from the tire casing. I've
been using the stuff for 15 years and it's true, but not a deal killer. You
do need to keep Jevelot Tire Life around to reattach the base tape edges. If
you are using narrow, aero rims and live near hills, you DO need to use a
glue that is not heat sensitive. Aero rims and mountains = melted regular
glue and tires coming off rims at high speeds.
