Removing tubular tire glue

Leave it

If the glue is still sticky and bonded well, you can add a layer on top of it and keep going.

If the glue is old and dried, you can try to revive it with paint thinner like naphtha, but your mileage may vary.

If you used tubular tape, or the glue looks really sus, you should probably clean it and start over.

Solvents

Solvents like paint thinner or mineral spirits can loosen the glue so you can scrape it off or wipe it with a rag. Goo gone is a citrus based cleaner that works well.

Construction

Tires have a casing that provides the shape and structure of the tire. There may be a protective layer, and a rubber compound with thread pattern.

Different tires have various materials and construction that make them more suitable for certain conditions.
