But a butyl inner tube instead of a latex one?
No, Tirealert can do a repair with a new latex tube. Sometimes, the proper size latex tube is difficult to find (eg. try finding a latex tube for a FMB Paris-Roubaix 27), hence the butyl.

Today, I open up a new can of clue that I have had for about 5 months and find that it contains a glue that is milky white in color and much thinner than the glue that I have come to love. Did I get some bad glue or is this the new "carbon rim" glue? I had a second bottle that came on the same order, and it was exactly the same? Anyone seen this?
Thanks!

The base tape is the weakest link in the reusability of a tub. Once the tub comes off, so does most of the base tape. I tend to remove the base tape completely off the tyre. So far I have been replacing the base tape with tub tape.
What are alternative solutions to replacing the base tape?

I use the same combos. The point I am asking is, once a tub is removed from the wheel the base tape is no longer effective. For a start it has solidified with glue and no longer has the suppler qualities which it originally had. So I tend to get rid of the tape entirely and replace it with what?
