Not sure if you can. Why do you buy glue from hong kong? Do you buy it in bulk?

If you are desperate I've got some medium in the tool box, just done a couple of sets this evening, seems to be ok.
Got no finger prints left tho..........

Don't think you can thin ac glue, not easily anyway.

Default Glue

Unless it prohibited to export superglue send me your address and I will send some in the post. Must cost a fortune in Sweden as I can get 10 tubes of thin CA in the UK for a £1.

Have a look for the large bottles of ZAP Pink.

Its like water but without doubt the best glue for tyres and part of the best range of CA's on the market.

These were developed for RC planes, where the loads and adhesive qualities are much more critical.

and you can buy 4oz bottles....

Well, I'd really recommend something in the middle (having tried all kinds of thicknesses). So I find green / med to be perfect. It runs but not too much... a bit too much squeeze/tilt with the pink one and your fingeres are glued on the tire as well...

I've tried to thin with acetone, and it gets thinner... but the glue just doesen't seem to work as well then. The acetone is more for de-bonding, so I guess it messes up some of the glue's curing abilites.

What you can do is mix that thick one with a very thin one, you'll then get this IMHO perfect medium thickness

AND!

If the nozzle gets blocked with glue, Don't try to bite it off.

It sticks your tongue to your bottom lip

Dont ask me how I know that
