Carogna double sided adhesive tape is a fast, clean and safe way to glue tubulars, matching the best mastics in terms of gluing performance and heat-resistance.
Carogna is designed and has been tested to perform flawlessly on any rim material (aluminum, carbon), with any tubular (Seamless, handmade, vulcanized sew-ups; with flat of raised-center-seam base tape), on and off-road. Adhesion is very strong and uniform across the whole circumference of the rim for all tubulars and it is also uniform across the whole circumference of the rim for all tubulars and it is also uniform across the tubular base tape. One short-coming of other gluing techniques is the limited adhesion at the edges of the base tape, or in the center, depending on the shape of the tubular and of the rim. Carogna solves this problem with specific adhesive properties on rim and tubular side.
IMPORTANT: when gluing a tubular with Carogna tape, the workshop temperature should be between 21°C and 38°C (70 to 100°F). At that temperature, 80% of the adhesive strength is reached after 8 hours, 99% after 24 hours. Proper adhesion cannot take place at temperatures below 10°C/50°F.
Once adhesion is set, riding the tubular at low temperatures (down to -40°C/-40°F) is not a problem. Thermal resistance of all materials used in the manufacture of Carogna was a high priority: Carogna will provide a perfect bonding at 150°C (302°F) for extended periods (hours), exceeding the heat-resistance of even the best mastics. We recommend cleaning surfaces (rim and tubular base tape) using isopropyl alcool or mineral spirits
