well, not quite, but I have a few bad memories of Tubasti. It was a type of glue that either never fully hardened or was just very slow to harden. The stuff is somewhat infamous for being a huge mess to deal with.
The current glues sold by Conti and Vittoria have been much better behaved.

The new Tubasti is different than the old formula, more like Conti. I have a box of the stuff. Used it on 2 sets of wheels so far, no mess. My trick for the unavoidable small mess that gets on the rim or tires is to dab a bit of Goo Gone on a rag and with one finger wipe the tires and rim, right after setting and pumping up the tire. Makes it easy.
