Glue on Sorex tire - best way to get it off?
 

Being the horrible tire gluer I am, I got some ca glue on my finger as I was gluing the tire to the rim and consequently left a nice gluey finger print on the tire rubber itself.

Is there a way of getting that glue off? ie. a quick dab of acetone? Or should I just leave it and hope it gets etched away during racing?

sand paper

Won't ruin the tire?

lightly scrub the glue off

Cheers.

Acetone will remove CA glue without damaging the tire.

Nail polish remover has acetone. I use it for ungluing my fingers from each other, and it also removed some long-dried CA that was dripped onto my setup board.

I have no idea if acetone or nail polish will damage rubber. If you care about the tires, you should probably test it on an old set first.

I know acetone won't damage the tire, just wondering if it will effect it's performance in the longer run.

Sand paper will do the trick as I run asphalt which is pretty much going to do the same thing but acetone I would think would be quicker and easier. Just want to make sure it's not going to effect the tires over all grip levels even if I am only doing a spot or two.

Not all. Your better off with straight acetone. It will work better/quicker.

Yeh some newer nail polish is 'acetone' free. What's the fun in that?
