Anyone know if it's easy to buy Mastik 1 in Mallorca?

For various reasons I may end up taking my tubular wheels on a three day holiday. I'll have the pre-glued spare (light Tufo) on the bike and another one or two pre-glued "proper" tyres with me. If I'm unlucky enough to puncture on the first or second day I'll want to re-glue a tyre in the evening. But Mastik 1 is highly flammable so presumably I can't take it with me on the flight..

Even better would be a shop that would do it for me while I wait in the evening... :)

    No idea. Take tub tape with you?

    Never used it, but I think the tyre and rim have to be glue free first? Unless it's the Belgian sort, in which case glue is needed too?

    Take a tub of sealant with you?
    Ive taped tubs on over glue residue without any issues.
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    I just usually use Tufo tape with pre- glued rim and tyre, this seems to give a great hold and allows the tub to be put on straight.
    I'd do this for your trip. Ideally a glued tub will need at least a day to dry and maximise the grip, which would keep you off the road, or at least the hills, for one of your days.

    I bought some tub glue in El Arenal once.

    I reckon most of the bigger bike shops would have some. In the past I've just chucked some into my bike bag.

    Thanks for the tips, I'll just get some of the tufo tape.

    Fingers crossed I won't need it! :)
