  • 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?

  • It not about layers so much but about the ammount of glue. I dont put layers on any more takes too much time instead i make sure my one layer is thick and uniform. This has the same effect. Also to avoid glue getting everywhere hang up the tyre and rim overnight and mount the following day. This works a charm. Bond will be just as strong.

  • Cheers - will try that next time. And maybe get all black tyres.

    Came up with a new term today for when you do something just because the pros do for the sheer romance of it: promantic.
