A question about tyre adhesives ?
I am known as the organiser of the Slotracer proxies but have been really surprised with the current proxy with the number of cars arriving whose tyres needing re-gluing, even before they get onto the track.
Personally speaking, although I tried more exotic types (Rubber toughened) Specialised slot car tyre adhesives in the past, I never felt that they have lasted that long. I have therefore tended to revert to the “off the shelf” Superglue which I use on my Club cars over many months without having to re glue them.
So I wondered what other people’s experience is, I can see that the common Superglue is rather hard, and that others tend to be “softer” and should in theory give a better ride properties to the tyres on the wheels, but is there a REALLY GOOD tyre adhesive which is soft and flexible and gives longer term adhesion ?
