Well what wilson told me to do and this really works amazing for me, i was having alot of trouble before, take a griniding wheel to the rubber and scuff it up good, then just brush the ground off rubber off. He said u defeat the purpose of dremeling the tires when u wipe them with denatured because it closes up the pores that u just opened with the dremel

Nice... Free Info without even being asked!!

Do youe ever use the rubber band technique? Putting rubber bands around the tire just after glueing to keep the tire firmly pressed into the wheel bead?

I've tried both ways and find the rubber band trick to work well. Only you need to wait about 10 to 15 minutes after the glue dries for the tire to come back to its original shape - since the rubber bands deform the tires alot.

Instead of rubber bands I use zip ties.

zipties?! dude use rubber bands or atleast electrical tape lol

I dont like rubber bands ever since I had a little boo boo and glued the rubber band to the tire

I like fast drying glue. The glue will be dry before I get back to my starting point.

htf did you do that, the jc concepts bands work great but you have to be less liberal with the glue i think lol you dont need that much

Heck anything is possible. I glued a buggy tire to my finger. LoL Part of the tire was on my finger, and part of my finger was on my tire.... sad day. (I'm definitely nocturnal)

i just did like 5 sets of tires kinda using a mixture of techniques i clean the beed out on the wheel then the tire, then i use use a green brillo cut small( easier to work with) and skuff the bead on the wheel then the tire , wipe them off with a dry rage to wipe away any access then glue outside then inside and use a band on the outside of the tire and one on the inside edge ( i use the jc concepts bands but tape, bands or zipe ties could work but i make sure i use two per tire) really keeps the bead tight, very little glue is needed.

For outdoor, should I vent two holes in each tire or just one and should I also vent the rim?

2 holes in the rubber none in the rims
