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.

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.
