It seems with a thin bead sometimes the rubber tire pulls loose from the wheel, looks like it actually tears the rubber loose. I prep the wheel and tire by using a dremel sanding barrel on the tire bead, then a dremel stone on the wheel,followed by a wipedown with acetone. Just never been completely happy with CA results, would like to use a glue that could be applied liberally to bead area and left overnight to dry.

You can get CA glue in a thick formula, that is similar to the Plastic model glue you are referring to. I takes 20-30 seconds to start setting so you have plenty of time to set your beads
