Default Dumbass help - gluing tyres / removing tyres

OK, I should know how to do this but would you believe the last time I had to glu a tyre to a rim was about 16 years ago.

So, I will clean both the rim and tyre with some brake cleaner, I have scuffed the rim where the tyre bead will sit.

Now, the glu. I have some Rocket medium and thick cyno. I also have the boggo standard Bostick thing stuff too. Which is the best to use here as I know it needs to run round the bead though im wondering if the medium stuff will create a better bond ?

When it does come to eventually re-use the rim's alot of different methods floated about years ago. Boiling, acetone etc. I have some Rocket Glue Buster which disolves superglue. Would this be the best method / How do you do yours ?

Cheers again for the help, simple questions I know but I want to make sure I get it right (have become 'tyre lazy' with all the pre-glued sets you use in TC)

John
