acetone, easy, airtight container. pop in a few mm of pure acetone, drop in the wheels/tyres, 24 to 48 hours later they peel off.

so you can use the wheels and sometimes the inserts and the tyres again. or cut off the tyres if shot and remove the insert then drop in the wheel. excess rubber comes off easily after the 24 hour soak.

use decent pure acetone as some nail varnish removers dont work(acetone free or low mix).
Can I just check, is it the acetone fumes that break down the glue, or do the tyres/wheels need to be immersed in acetone for it to work?

also, how much acetone do I need to use ?
