The first time I glued tires I glued my pinky to my thumb.

 

[Just a hobby]

I accidentally glued 1 out of 4 tires to the table.

At least you didn't ask this guy to work on your tires...

He used hydrogen to inflate.. and he was smoking.

I remember watching a video of this guy trying to make his tire blow onto the rim by using gasoline instead of ether while it was still on his truck he started his truck on fire.

Man I hate this crap as a mechanic myself....
Ignorance hurts.

First time I glued tires I glued my calves to the floor somehow. It was on dark wooden floor and you could see the stains of CA glue on it. We moved out of that house 4 months later…..

This is about the only thing I like about gluing tires. I love the smell.

I've got a couple of this exact bottle- good stuff!

Gf broke a finger nail way high one time when we were much younger and living at my parents. She super glued the nail but It wasn't drying. My dad came in with that bottle of harder and she said go ahead and use it. Dad sprayed her finger and that girl took off BOOKIN it. Me and dad were just watching her running around screaming in confusion.
Kinda forgot that stuff got hot when we did it. Burned her finger real good she was soo mad at us! 15 years later I still hear about this incident.......

Mrs. Doom complains every time I spray the ca accelerator in the house, she can't stand the smell.

I’ve must have glued hundreds of tires since I started racing. SCT tires are the hardest, the side wall is so stiff . This is my home made jig I use , the framing square holds the tire so one hand can push the tire out of the bead , the other to do the glue .

Doesn't ca dry almost instantly? I didn't know they made an accelerator. You in a huge hurry when you glue stuff?

That's actually a great idea!

There are different drying speeds for different thicknesses of CA, sometimes you want a slower drying CA so you can get the placement perfect then hit it with the accelerator to get it to set while it's in position.

While gluing , I keep a paper towel wet with rubbing alcohol readily available just in case as well as my bucket with acetone again just in case , just stick your finger / fingers in it and the glue comes right off . As we speak I am gluing up some new front tires on new rims and have 2 soaking in the acetone to repurpose a pair of rims . Cut the tire off down to the bead and let it sit for a day or two and the remaining bead of the tire falls right out .

I see BSI makes tire glue for your LHS too.
