What tape to use to control tire swell?

[jhautz]

The thing I found to work the best is, turn the tire inside out. Clean the whole inside with dish soap (grease cutting kind) that takes all of the demolding residue off of the inside of the tire. Just like you do on the tire bead before you glue them to the wheel. Apply 1 layer of good quality duct tape and overlap the ends by an inch or so. Turn em back right side in and glue em up. Haven't had one fail yet after cleaning all of the silicone demolding goo off of the inside before taping it.

That mold release agent is tough for anything to stick to. Tape glue or tire glue.

EDIT: make sure the tape is wide enough to cover the whole tread surface of the tire or you will just wind up with smaller baloons on the edges of the tire where the tape missed
