Default Tire glues...

I'm looking for tire glue and prices are rediculas! I'm only glueing 1 pair this whole season. Can I use super glue or jb welding glue?

yea i would try your local hobby shop. then you won't have to pay shipping. plus its always good to have some around. you never know when one of your tires might break away or off a rim.

I use Locktite Professional. You can get it at Home Depot. The glue is fresh and it holds like no other.

I was having trouble with thin grabbing too fast, but the thick/slow is reeeeally easy. Tire seats nice and even on the rim. I do 4 sides, let em dry over night, then flip and do the other 4 sides.

The plane section of my LHS has a huge selection of CA glues, different types and thicknesses, etc. all for half the price of "vehicle" CA glue.

CA stands for Cyanoacrylate, which is what super glue is.

I have a few brands of tyre glue and super glue, maybe someone can chime in on what the difference is.

tire glue is the last place you want to skimp. pay the price and get losi or AKA i would recommend.

i have been using the red AKA stuff, and its amazing, best glue i hav ever used, granted the all buy the stuff from loctite and rebrand it, i think the AKA stuff is really good.

They're all the same. Just rebranded. I use the "hobby shop brand" Insta-cure for years. Blue thin CA. It's no diff than the other stuff you guys have mentioned. Wheel and tire prep is the key. Been using the same stuff on everything from 1/8 to 1/10 buggy to SC tires.

I've used em all. AKA and Losi are great. The best is Loctite Professional. In the blue bottle. Its fresh always. None better IMO. And I have glued hundreds of tires.
