Postby SLOTTING SINCE 1963 » Mon Aug 10, 2015 12:01 pm

What is the best way to glue the tire to the hub?
Tried Bostic Contact and nail polish, not a huge success. Not keen on super glue.
Any ideas
Thanks
Richard.

Hi Richard,

Try IC-2000. I've used it in the past with good results.

For the record (because I bought the wrong thing at first), we don't use nail polish, we use nail hardener. Tons more grip. The brand I found was Sally Hansen, and I got it at Kroger. It takes some looking. I found a woman who worked there and got her to find it amongst thousands of nail products.

I have also used SHAAN (Sally Hanson's Hard As Nails) and it works well, but I like the fact that IC-2000 is rubberized CA glue. I use it for a lot of things. Store it cold, though.............

That's why I stopped using it. Even in my beer fridge, it became rubber far too fast to please me.

I use clear silicone sealant (RTV) when I want a permanent acting but still removable bond. You can find it in the US at car parts (gasket in a tube) or hardware stores (caulk/sealant); don't who would stock it in your neck of the woods.
