I use the same medium CA+ glue on my tires that I build my planes with. $8 for a 2oz bottle. I've been building planes for over 30 years and have been using CA glues since they came out and I can tell you that the only differences are viscosity and whether or not it is foam safe. Here are a couple of tips. If you use glue tips store them in a small jar with acetone after use. That way they won't clog. if you want thinner glue add a little acetone to thin it. Wipe the bottle tip clean after each use and if the cap doesn't seat well because of build up inside it soak it in some acetone to clean it out.

i agree 100%. for me, i couldn't get the thin tube they give you to properly go into the pro-line stuff. AKA's tube goes right in. also, i HATE the thin stuff. sets way too fast for me. i like to have at least 4-5 seconds so if i seat the bead wrong, i can lift it up and set it back in. with the thin stuff it bonds almost instantly and once you put the bead in, you're stuck.

Don't get the tiny bottle it's a joke. Get the big bottle you see there.

The bottle in your link holds only .71 ounces , not what I would consider a big bottle . Same size as the rest , but is a few $ cheaper .

Yeah, definitely not a big bottle when you compare it to the big bottles of zap, but it is bigger than the other bottle they offer, which is just a metal tube in a bs squeeze holder. This is an actual bottle with a good tip that lasts and can be cleaned and a cap that works well. I tend to go all the way to the end of each bottle and the glue only slightly thickens through months of use and is still good for gluing up 1/8 and 1/10 tires at the end.

The very best product is Loctite 406 which is specifically designed for Rubber and Plastic. The next best is Loctite 401 which is a little more of a general purpose CA.
Now the 406 is super runny so I tend to use in the winter and then in the summer I use the 401 which is slightly thicker but still pretty thin.
Remember to get the best life out of your CA keep it in the fridge when not using.

I sell these products daily and have never had 1 single issue while using them for my tires.

I can't wait for AKA or JC to come out with *actual* "Wheel Sharpie" markers for labeling wheels/tires and "Body Knifes" for cutting out masking so that we can finally get some stuff that works in this hobby.

Paint markers work well for wheels and tires . Exacto knifes work good for cutting out masks .

That was exactly my sarcastic point. The products already exist.
