Tires, Glue and Hose Clamps

The Supplies

I was gluing some tires the other day and I was wishing I had purchased a tire gluing kit. It can sometimes be a pain to get the tire to seat properly around the wheel, while waiting for the glue to dry. After looking at a gluing kit I decided it would be less expensive to go to the hardware store and purchase some 4″ hose clamps.  A 4″ hose clamp will work perfectly with a SCT tire.

It doesn’t look pretty, but it is effective.

I like to turn my tires inside out and tape the inside, this will prevent tire ballooning. Usually I use Gorilla Tape but I didn’t have enough to complete the job. I have had good results with Duct Tape in the past, so that is what I used for this job.  Make sure to properly wash the inside of the tires and allow them to dry before applying the tape.

4 Gluing Points marked on the tire on the left

I applied a small amount of thin CA or Tire glue to 4 points on the rim (Usually only requires a drop or two). The thin tire glue will roll down the rim and ensure proper coverage until the next gluing point.

Tighten up the clamps to ensure great contact with the tire and wheel.

Once I had glue on one side of the wheel, I put the hose clamp around the tire and tightened up the hose clamp. I then moved on to next tire and repeated.

Once the glue was dried, I removed the clamps and repeated the same process on the opposite side of the tires.

A clean job.

Using the 4″ hose clamps was great. At this point I can’t see myself ever buying a tire gluing kit. I bought 2 hose clamps for $1.88, I just need to get 2 more, so I can do all 4 tires at once.
