glue 1 side of a time...and don't use too much, just put a small line inside the lip all at once, then pop the bead of the tire into the rim and push down...

Default RE: glueing tires

ther'es a lot of different choices for this. come people like to use the gel style glue (it's thicker and tends to not get all over the place)

I like to use a super thin glue. what i will do is pop the tire bead off, put a few drops in the bead, put the bead back in. the glue is so thin capliary acton pulls it down inside the bead and glues it pretty well. do that in 3-4 spots around each bead and it's good. just have to be REALLY careful you don't use tooo much.

also, i figured out a good way to get glue off is a hair dryer. once the glue hits about 200 degrees it comes off really easy.

Here's link:

A couple of other tricks is to tape the inside to prevent "ballooning" and to use rubber bands around the tires while they dry to keep the bead pressed against the rim.
