Remastering is not without problems. But are you really facing issues? You might have actually done these mistakes.

You didn't prepare

Your host machine either has insufficient memory or swap has been turned off for whatever reason (this is applicable to users with older machines).
Working directory has insufficient free space, causing Customizer not able to extract ISO or it will keep trying endlessly. Do work somehere with much free space.

You assumed it works

Working directory is located at a non-Linux/Unix compatible filesystem such as vfat and fuseblk, causing extract ISO to fail. Use at least ext3 filesystem, duh.

You forgot to update

Whenever kernel is updated and older one is removed, make sure update-grub command is run, otherwise cannot login into Live CD.
Installation from Live CD could fail when packages are not updated correctly.

You ignored the notes

Known issues in Ubuntu releases that you are remastering. Check the release notes.
Additionally, Ubuntu-based derivatives have their own issues and may inherit known issues in Ubuntu per se.
