Default Tire gluing

Everyone;
Electrical REALLY works much better than rubber bands. When gluing use enough put 4-8 drops in the bead then wrap firmly with electrical tape. The CA will be spread around by the wraping of the tape. Let dry until you can't smell the CA anymore.

For off-road tires, an old tire with the sidewalls cut off works really good for holding the bead tight when gluing.

I hated the gluing fixtures. Threw mine in the trash. Just keep a bottle of DeBonder handy.
