Hey pitman, so you used this along the inner part of the wheel bead and then had tire mounted.

actually tire was already mounted and spinning a couple inches on launch. I had the shop break the bead loose on the back and with a plastic glove on, smear the glue around the bead. Fill back to 30psi and Let it sit for 24hrs and it is not going to move.
