Default Can someone please explain the correct process of glueing tires to rims?

ive tried glueing tires a few times and i allways end up making a mess. i can get the tires glued on strait and everything but i always end up getting glue all over the new wheels and it looks crappy and the chrome will start pulling off the wheels the first time i drive the car around. Can someone please school me on the correct procedure or do a new thread with a write up on how to glue tires the correct way? thanks. BTW part of my problem might be from the fact that the are very small tires off of an RC18B. im sure the 1/10 scale tires would be alot easier to glue without making a mess.
Also my rc18b has the mamba comp X package and does around 60mph so that might be another reason why my glueing techniques seem to fail pretty quickly, anyways any advice on this would be greatly appriciated!!

what viscosity glue is the best for this? ive got this really this stuff that runs all through the outer edge of the rim and starts dripping out the other side if your not carefull, i wonder if its too thin for this?
