(VM & P) Naptha takes Mastic One off better (I recall as acetone did not work as well and I don't have acetone anymore). Use on rim only and keep excess out of spoke holes.
It may be hard to find and is not sold in our county.
Then clean off the Naptha with Lacquer Thinner.
Keep Naptha away from any to-be-glued surfaces you can't clean. Do not use it on the tire. While extra Lacquer Thinner is not an issue, Naptha will keep glue from hardening.

Then when reglue-ing remember edges matter most. I clean any spill over on brake track right after gluing with Lacquer Thinner.

Some other things:
-Plummer's Teflon tape around valve before mounting.
-Use that rope idea around valve if you don't want to wrap the whole wheel.
