I am interested in possibly changing glue, and was looking for everyones opinion who have used and tested at LEAST 3 Types of glue!
PLEASE only post if you have given at least 3 types of glue a fair chance! TY

OH, by the way, here is the glue I use and so far after 3 years it seems to hold 90% of the time.

I have used the one you listed as well as AKA, Losi and Dynamite tire glue. I really like the thin Losi glue as well as the AKA glue. If I mount and glue my tires properly with either of these glues the tires almost never break apart. I've never lost a tire using either Losi or AKA tire glues. Just my .02 cents!

I prefer to use AKA glue for 8th scale tires, as it is a little bit thicker which is not a problem for 8th scale, and makes it easier to have a clean glue job, and I like losi glue for 10th scale tires, as it is thinner and gets in the bead a little better. The biggest thing for me is the bottles and the little straws make it convinient, and the anti clog cap on both brands makes the bottles last longer.

It really all boils down to starting with two clean prepared surfaces and drying time. I make less of a mess with thicker glue, but my impatient side like the thin. I've never really had any glue *not* work when used properly. To the OP, what makes you think the other 10% is glue failure and not user error or normal wear and tear (tires do take a beating sometimes?)

Yes, Prep is essential! As I always pre-clean both wheel and tire with 90% Alcohol!

I have used about every tire glue made. The best glue I have ever seen is gorilla glue super glue. It's insane how well it works. It's a thicker glue and I'm running brushless 1/8 and the tires haven't budged.

IMO, all glue is essentially the same. Thickness is the only real difference to me. I have used AKA, and I like its bonding delay. I guess it would be a medium. Gives u time to work it in. Thin cures to fast for me, takes me a while to get my gluing touch back. I am just using a thin tire glue with the LHS name stickered on it.

Would prefer medium but didn't feel like paying the extra 7 bucks.

for me it depends on the how the tire fits the wheel, same for my skill level, sometimes anything works, other times I struggle no matter what glue/tire/wheel.
Guess that's why we try them all, 4 different ones one the bench right now.
Good fit > thin. Crap fit > thick. Working brain > thin. Brainless > thick.
When done right they all seem to work fine.

Always store the glue in a fridge after opening. Keeps it fresh alot longer.

I prefer hobbytown usa insta cure+ in the purple (gap filling 5-15 sec), comes in a decent sized bottle 2oz for $9 and you can get larger refill bottles, replacement tips, and different colored caps... Really good glue and it grips great! I haven't had a tire "pop" off in quite a while although prep work is half the battle!
