Poormansporsche 28 Posted June 14, 2018 Got some runs of super glue on the outsides of my tyres I need to remove. I was thinking acetone nail polish remover but will it discolour / melt the tyres ? Or any other suggestions ??? cheers PMP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyabigstuff 830 Posted June 14, 2018 This is exactly why I only use silicone sealant to secure tyres to wheels and not super glue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humbug 30 Posted June 14, 2018 Silicone sealant? I've been doing it wrong all this time lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercoolnothing 721 Posted June 14, 2018 Acetone on a cotton wool bud/ball will do the job just fine (albeit slowly) and won't attack the rubber. The silicone sealant trick is great if you're running silver can motors etc but when you start to put serious power down you'll find it doesn't hold up and will end up going back to superglue. The best way I've found is to fit the tyre, gently lift the bead off the rim at one point, we'll call this 12 o'clock and put a drop of superglue on the rim, then repeat the process at 6 o'clock then 3 and 9 respectively. Capillary action will take the glue around the rest of the rim. Then move onto the next tyre until you've done all four then flick them over and repeat the process on the other side of the wheel and tyre. Don't try to do both sides at one time or you'll end up stuck to the wheel and tyre (ask me how I know this one 😂😂😂) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
