oven does stink up the house IMO and boiling does mess up a pan...


Roc, eric did the acetone thing on his c-boas and he like them with the hard compound....he said they work good.
I had the same problem with the oven way, it took forever to remove all the old glue.
So I figured I'd try the acetone way, not knowing it would turn my Boa C's hard afterwards
So I was going to buy new ones, but so far they seem to be working ok, even while being hard....After all, I did manage to win the A-main with them on Sunday

I did the boil too and it did mark up the pan a lil. It did work but 4 tires took like an hour of boiling water. lol I started to get impatent and started to exacto once they got hot and that seemed to help the water soak into the bead some.

Well I doubt I could have accomplished this between heats at the track, but I tried the Xacto method. I trimmed away the side that was already the looser, back or front of the wheel. After I cut the one side free I was able to clean out the bead with the Dremel wire wheel, install the new foam and reglue the side I cut away. It took about an hour to cut and clean all four MT size wheels. With new foams in there, they are good as new, and ready to sit on bench because I never go to the track.

Thanks Chris for the Xacto tip. No boiling no baking no mess no wife problems! It's all good!
