Will report back later :)
Inch of nail varnish remover in a sanwich tub paul :) Be interesting to see how you get on though. I havnt tried it, but it just seems to be more difficult. I did read that the glue goes hard n brittle so comes away, but its then difficult to remove from the rim too.

i have 2 sets to remove, one is sat in acetone (well asda nail varnish remover) in recycled chinese takeaway containers, one is going in the oven. Then I'll know for sure :p

Great_Thark 01-05-2013 06:36 PM
Well one set 24hrs in acetone, one set 15 mins @ 120


and the winner is............... ASDA superglue :rolleyes:

What i like to do is race at cullingworth
that way no new tyres are required :thumbsup:

My Best Solution
 
Acetone :thumbdown: too slow too much farting about, not a brilliant result.

Baking :thumbdown: just didn't seem to work for me, not overly smelly but I'm not a burd so who knows.

My solution... Place wheels in steaming dish of pressure cooker, raised on little stand thing you get with them, water below so your only steaming the wheels, pressure cook for 30 mins, turn gas off and leave to go cold, came straight off, foam more or less dry. no mess, no smell :thumbsup:

U could cut the tires off the rims before puttin them in the bin to salvage the inserts, save urself a few pennies at MB :-)

This is my normal policy :blush:

The pressure cooker thing is so easy though I might salvage a bit more often

Interesting to hear your results -- but I'm a bit worried about anyone using a pressure cooker that's not smart enough to operate the oven. :lol:

100-120* was my advice.
Usually 10 minutes the first side, 5 the second side after flipping them.

200 is usually when they start melting, and result in people having problems from overcooking them. ;)

Surprising easy, wasn't it? :thumbsup:

Glad it worked out for you.

Tilly 05-05-2013 03:12 PM
I'm currently tryin the acetone method with some old wheels/tires i have to see how it goes. I'll try the oven if it doesn't work

Tilly 06-05-2013 05:27 PM
Well i'm impressed, co-ops own brand nail varnish remover worked great. Put about 1cm in a tupperware, put the wheel in n put the lid on. Left in in garage for 24 hrs and the tire came away from the rim with very little pressure.

Thanks for the advice guyz
