Based on that review of tubular glues, i bought a tub of vittoria mastik'one for about $20 (250 gram - much cheaper to buy a tub than to buy one-of tubes ...) to go with a gaggle of low-end tubulars.

i was CURSING myself for buying stuff that was soo sticky !!! Until i discovered that paint thinner would thin it out, i was walking around with that stuff stuck to my fingers and pants for days on end !!!

when i decided to teach myself how to recover asian saddles in suede, i was glad to have the stickiest stuff on the planet to work with, especially for the nose area. however, i'll have to see if it allows me to recover the saddle a second time, or whether the foam base will rip in half rather than give up the bond with vittoria mastik'one.
