Cheap tire gluing setup
I'm sure this has been done 100x but just in case it hasn't. If you an old microwave lying around w/ a revolving plate don't throw it out. Grab the AC synchronous turntable motor out of it and repurpose it. I just 3D printed an adapter and tapped it. I used a 4MM thumbscrew from some VESA mount hardware I have a tendency to keep. These motors spin at a decent speed and being they are AC you can plug them right into the wall. I'll probably make an enclosure for mine and use a standard NEMA receptacle so I can just use a pc power cable to power it easily and safely. You don't even need to go to that extent to be honest as the motor I have is flat and you could just wire up a standard 110V plug if you really wanted quick and dirty. The motor in mine was a GM-16-12F17 which spins at ~ 6 RPM which seems fine for me but if you wanted faster you could go w/ a different motor and just use a variable resistor to control the speed.
I've also included my 3D print I drew up really quick for the adapter for THIS motor shaft. Make sure your printer tolerances are good as this is a TIGHT fit as It has to be a friction fit and I wanted no runout.

Very cool.
I tend to glue the bead itself for maximum adhesion in which case, I pull the tire away from the rim to make a little gap, then drop the glue in the seam, massage the tire to allow capillary action to spread the glue evenly.

Cheap as chips
3/8 drill & Tamiya mini axle. I’m so cheap. 🤪

Not sure if you are talking about gluing tyres or gluing the sides of tyres for black carpet...
