Default RE: Stop using CA glue for your tires

How about taking this idea a step further? Contact the manufacturer to package the Marine 5200 glue maybe in a smaller bottle / container and market it to the hobby industry. I would not have time to take on a new product, but I'd be happy to help you get the idea off the ground. It would be fun to help you out with packaging, artwork, marketing idea's etc. I've done well with the SAME scenario for the Performance Devices temp guns in working with Fluke. There should be no reason you could do the same with this glue!

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
