Default boiling

I tried boiling them off the rims. it will eventually work however it takes a bit of time like 45mins on each tire to loosen the ca. you can still use the tire and rim after the boiling is done. does the baking melt the tire or are the tires still intact to use?

Putting the tires in the freezer immediately after boiling seems to make it go a little quicker for me.
