Personally, I would add a layer of fresh glue to the base tape, let it dry overnight, then apply another, thin, layer just before you install it.
As an aside, in your last pic, it looks like the basetape itself is coming-off the tire? Is that correct? That would be a bigger issue than the glue and I would recommend resolving that, first.
Thank you!
No the base tape is still glued on on it
If i see a tape unglued, i should just glue it back?

Absolutely. The base tape needs to be securely fastened to the tubular casing in order to be reliable. There are lots of differing opinions on the 'right' way to do that. I have personally had good luck with very high-strength commercial carpet adhesive (purloined from one of our tenant fit-out contractors), but have also used the old standby, Barge Cement.

I'm removing old Mastik Pro before I put Carogna tape on. If this is unnecessary please tell me. Glue removal is boring.

Does Corsa Speed simply leak air much faster than other race type tyres? Pumped it up to 140 psi after gluing yesterday and they're halfway deflated 24 hours later. Is that just what TT tyres do? My Velofelx ProTour doesn't leak nearly as fast.

For those considering tape:
Removing the tire leaves the tape glued to the rim. It can be then peeled off easily as one strip. The rim bed underneath is clean. The process is completely painless.
This is with Caden tape, 24mm, on carbon rims.

Good stuff. Caden tape seems to be popular. They have a how-to video on youtube
https://youtu.be/5xSYq2sXPWI They say their tape is "new" and made by 3M, and that if you want to remove it, you can leave the rim in the sun for 10 mins, then it peels off.
https://carbonbikewheels.com.au/eu/prod ... eter-rolls Great to see a young company committing to tubs.
I wonder if Effetto Mariposa tape is the same stuff, also made by 3M? It doesn't seem likely that 3M would make a new kind of tub tape specially for a small Australian wheel builder.
