- Wash hands prior to assembling and gluing.
- Clean bead area of tire with all purpose cleaner.
- Avoid touching bead area for best bond strength.
- Use only high quality (JCO2043M or JCO2043T), purpose built tire glue.
- Slide the glue tip applicator partially (force fit) onto bottle and cut tube to desired length.
- Pull back tire bead area and apply a liberal amount of glue to mating surfaces.
- Wipe excess glue with a rag and allow to dry in a warm ventilated area. Direct sunlight is best.
- Place JConcepts tire mounting rubber bands (JCO2005 or JCO2212) around the outside of the sidewall to assist in proper positioning.

I was being cheep and tried to get one more glue job out of an old bottle of glue, 2 full sets of tires over $100 plus prep time, and blah, no bond and very brittle. So my theory was break the outer edge seal and use thin glue to get down in there, and worked like a charm, seamed to take a while to dry, probably cuz the existing glue. I quit dealing with thin glue years ago cuz it can become a mess fast, but some patience and a steady hand and works get. Saved my $100+ in wheels and tires.
This glue was difficult to get used to because it dries so fast but now that I’ve gotten used to it I like it
I love amain they have great customer service and fast shipping.
Three reviews, all rating the thin formulation 5 out of 5. One reviewer used it to re-bond tires that had lost adhesion, reporting it worked after patience and careful application, though it took a while to dry and can get messy. Another verified owner found it hard to adapt to because it dries quickly, but later came to like it. The third review praises the seller's customer service and shipping rather than the glue itself. Reviewers agree the product works but requires practice; the sample is small.
- + Restored bond on old tires
- + Works well once used to it
- + Good customer service and fast shipping
- − Dries very fast, hard to get used to
