I use panther bands and losi blue(medium) glue. with the bands on(directly over the bead) I use the little tube that comes with the glue and go around the tire peeling the bead back slightly. I then use the tube and basically draw a thin line of glue around the inside of the bead about 1/4 of an inch in on the bead of the tire. leave the band on for an hour or so and start the same process on the back side. Don't use alot of glue or it will just mess things up. using too much glue lengthens the drying time and actually weakens the glue joint plus it makes a big mess. since I started using this method I have not had one single tire failure plus my tires look alot neater.
