  • So I'm about to get gluing. Planning to build up two coats of glue on the rim and put one on the tyre and let dry.

    For the final coat to activate the glue and get it on the rim, is there a reason I can't put that on the rim?

    If I put the final cost on the tyre, it's going to go everywhere as I'm getting it onto the rim.

    Is that enough glue?

  • is there a reason I can't put that on the rim?

    I always put the final coat on the rim. One coat on the tyre is enough.

    Is that enough glue?

    It depends, what are you using the tubs for? For road, three layers on the rim and one on the base tape is probably ample. For track or cyclocross use then you might want to put an additional layer or two on.
