Locktite professional grade CA hands down for me. Not the gel either. the thinner the better so it flows around the bead. Have never hade a tire come loose with this stuff. Tire and rim prep are essential. I use a combo mixture of water, dish soap(two drops) and rubbing alcohol(4 tbs) mixed in a small 1qt garden sprayer. Get a small wire wheel for a dremel to burnish the rim after cleaning and you are set to start glueing. Rubberbands! make sure you use them.

Ive always used the Losi Tire Glue and it works well for me. It also comes with a very tiny straw type thing so it makes the job even easier.

Using Losi tire glue was where I 1st encountered that small tubing thats used as an applicator. If you haven't used something like that, you ought to, it allows for much better control and placement of the glue.

This is the way i use it. Put the tire on the rim, Pull the tire back towards the center of the rim put a drop of glue on it, turn the tire like a steering wheel, let it flow around, and then quickly put the tire back on the rim.

Thanks for all the tips guys, I'm definitely not going to have problems gluing tires now. We ended up using "Dr. Bond" and it glued fine, had no problems and I don't see any happening that are un-ordinary.
