tire glue HELP
hey guys, do i NEED to get "tire ca glue" or is it the same as "regular" ca glue?
this would be my first set of tires being glued (pro line road rage 2s on pro line 2.2 velocity wheels) so any other additional advice would be great as well.
thanks!

I just use regular CA glue from Loctite, available at my local True Value. I get the little triangular bottles too, one of those is about enough to mount up 4 truck tires. You might think you're saving money by buying one of those huge CA glue bottles, and if you're putting tires together on a pretty regular basis you might very well be, but if you're only going to do one set and that's it for awhile, eventually that glue'll either thicken up so much it won't capillary around the bead or you'll just end up with a solid chunk of stuff in a bottle.
Tire gluing's an experience thing, the only way you'll ever get good at it is to do it, and the more you do the better you get.

would you guys use thin ca or thick?

Use thick so that you can correct mistakes if they are made. The thin stuff requires you to do things flawlessly.

And body clips, oh my God do people like Pro-Line rape you for a pack of body clips. What is it, like, $5 for an 8 pack of body clips? I got a bag of 50 for about $10. People ask me very delicately if they can borrow a body clip from me, then get all surprised when I turn around and say "Keep 'em, how many do you need?"
It's all about who you know and where to find them

I found this video awhile back on youtube. It is a tire-gluing video.
Hopefully it helps anyone that is looking for some tire gluing insight.
