I just use methalated spirits to degrease & remove agent from tyres, you will be suprised what comes off, then just mount & glue. There are many good glues, i use muchmore now but have used norsam, ok bond & GRP in the past . All work well just use a thin type as it speeds up glueing
+1 Clean tire after fitting foam and the rim with metho fit tire and glue with locktite. Never failed yet.
