Default What is a good glue for Axial R35 compound tires?

I'm looking to modify some R35 tires, and normal CA glue isn't working too well. What have you guys used that works well? It kind of reminds me of Losi Blue compound with how the CA reacts to the rubber.

Thanks for the help! (Oh, and yes I searched, but didn't find anything.)

I might have to try that. Did you order it since you couldn't find it locally? Is this something that Lowes, Home Depot, or Ace Hardware would carry?

Got the tires done, finally...

Ended up using the Team Losi Tire Glue. (TLR76000)
My LHS had some, so that's what I went with. I couldn't find any of the Loctite 406 locally, so I can't say for sure if that works.

Gorilla glue super glue did not work at all. Normal CA super glue (I tried loctite "longneck" brand) did not work either. My IC2000 was too old to use, so I couldn't try that, but I've only used it to back the seams, since it takes longer to set.

Will post pics in a bit of the new tires once I get some foams and mount them to tne rims...

Here it is. Just a normal 2.2 Trepador (R35 compound). My seams are a little obvious because the TLR glue needs a little longer to set up and it was tough holding the pieces together while I waited.

I don't even know what I am putting these on, but I've got 5 of them together out of 6 tires. Maybe a nice C3 scaler?
The wheels are Axial 8-hole 2.2 narrowed to just under an inch. Foams are modified 2.2 stock foams from I-don't-know-what.

The TLR glue was definitely the way to go...
