Recommend me a Tyre Glue

[Bigdawgracer]

Hi All,

I'm coming back to racing in the New Year after a 20 year break!

I've just got myself some new tyres but what to stick them to the rims with?

Back in the day we used super-glue but the modern stuff is totally different - is it still ok to use or is there something better?

Thanks for reading!

Ha ... I was in same boat 9 months ago!
I'm still using normal super glue .. Pound shop stuff does the job, just not good for gluing tyres just before a race, needs longer to set and you got to make sure you apply it evenly ... From my limited knowledge the proper tire glue is just much thinner than the usual super glue so it flows round the wheel rim better and sets quicker ...

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone .. :-)

Happy racing fella!

I use no nonsense super glue from screw fix it's thin so it runs round the bead, it sets quick and best of all it's cheep

Screwfix again, but it's loctite for me.

Dissolves nicely in nail varnish remover. (acetone based)

Core RC glue, the best I've used and comes with two removable applicator tips that make it really easy to apply a small thin bead.

Bob Smiths for me. Available in most model shops.

+1 for the Core glue here but whatever one you choose, make sure your wheels and tyres are both prepped to accept the glue or it won't matter which glue you use, your tyres WILL become unstuck!
