yeah the glue gun is good. but sometimes on larger wheels, like truck wheels, you need a little more than a glob of glue. i still balance my on road wheels with a line or two of glue from the gun.

That's what I use on my 2 and 4 wheel buggies. (it even worked on my T4 stadium wheels) I don't even use a glue gun, just the glue stick. All I do is cut sections of glue stick off, and quickly melt one of the flat sides with a lighter. (it only takes a second or two) Then I just apply them as needed on the high side of the inner wheel. Works like a charm, and is pretty easily removed.shirochanwrx wrote:How about hot glue from a glue gun?

Try using sticky tac, you can find it at walmart. It's kinda like clay but stickier.

tim, are you talking about the round glue stick in a tube, that you use to paste stuff with? or is this a rectangular piece?

I'm pretty sure that T is talking about the glue "sticks" that one places into a glue gun to generate the hot glue. What he is saying is that you can easily cut the glue stick and attach it to the inside of a wheel *without* the use of a glue gun.
