Default Stop using CA glue for your tires

Hey folks,

I got tired of glueing my tires back onto my rims after the millionth time they've torn off.

My friend in the boat building buisness suggested I use Marine 5200 to glue the tires back to the rims.
His theory was: The CA glue is hard and brittle. Plastic is flexable. Rubber is flexable. It requires a flexable glue.

I went to the marine store and bought some Marine 5200 Black. I tore the tires off the rims, cleaned the rim and tire with pyroil non-clorinated brake cleaner, and applied the 5200 black to the bead.
It takes ~3 days to dry. But once it does, it's all you're gona need.


Have fun......

Mike
