|  what's the easiest way to....
...apply shoe goo to the wheels when mounting tires? I did one wheel with shoe goo for the first time and it made a mess when i was pushing the tire onto the bead. It doesn't help that the shoe goo tube doesn't have a applicator cap like super glue and rtv tubes have so it's hard to apply just a little amount exactly where you want it. I put the tire on the wheel first and then slid the tire bead towards the middle of the wheel while i applied the shoe goo inside the bead of the wheel. When pushing it back over, the sidewall always gets goo all over it. what are your tricks? |

The few times that I used shoe goo to mount my tires, I spread it around the bead with a toothpick. Just put some shoe goo onto your wooden toothpick and spread it around the bead. I think I used a few toothpicks per tire if I remember correctly because after a little while they would snap. I ttakes forever to mount up tires this way, but it gets the job done.

I tried using q-tips (no cotton) but by the time i got all the way around, the glue was starting to get hard. I won't ever use CA glue to mount tires again. Both times i tried to remove them, they tore up the tires pretty bad. I tried the oven trick and boiling them with no luck so no more CA!!!!  |
