15 minutes. The boiling method doesn't work nearly as well as the baking method. Put a piece of foil on a cookie sheet and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Once the oven reaches 350, put the tires on the cookie sheet, put them in the oven and SHUT THE OVEN OFF. Take them out in 15 minutes and the glue will be crystalized and the tires will come right off.

Of course this all means nothing if the boiling method works for you.

Nitro is all about the mess and smell!!! Toss the dang things in the oven, grab a (insert your favorite beverage here) then sit back and take it all in.

You can try boiling them in vinegar. It works great.
