Whats the best thing/chemical to use to prep your tire for glueing??
I have glued up tons of tires but recently i am having issues with them coming unglued and off the rim on my Truggy, my current method is to scuff the rim with a wire tool on a dremel then i use carb cleaner on a rag to wipe off the tire bead to remove the mold release then glue it up using bands and Losi glue or aka whatever the LHS has. Any help from someone who has a better more secure way to keep my tires glued up tight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..

I use Mean Green degreaser. I've used denatured alcohol before but this stuff for me works better. Mean green takes the most brown mold release off a tire that I've seen and its super cheap. You can test it against denatured alcohol and youll get more brown on your towel with mean green. Usually you can find it at target near the window cleaners.

i use nothing, n use fresh glue. the brown shit is mold release which has no ill effect on fresh glue in my experience. but if you insist on cleaning i recommend using "mold release cleaner" since that is what you're cleaning....

I have found storing your glue in the frizzier prolongs its life tremendously!
