Has any tried Gorilla Glue to glue tires back together? Just wondering
if it works?

Not as well as CA. CA actually melts the tires to the wheels; gorilla glue
is just your run-of-the-mill poly adhesive and will just "stick" the wheels
to the tires.

You'll be damn grateful though if you ever wanna remove the twatting things
from the wheels ;-) Although, FWIW, I always CA mine, as then I don't have
them tearing off at WOT when crossing the beach.

On a TOTALLY different note - FLM alloy diff cups and big pile of spares are
coming my way. Got some Mulchers on Maxx rims, it's gonna be a large
weekend of bash time :-) Beach here we come! Also sourced an 18T RR steel
spur, so I'll be running 18/48 when that bad boy arrives.

I'd use it for on-road cars and <maybe> 2.2 offroad tires, but never on 1/8
monster tires! My Mayhem has been known to pop a CA'ed bead every now and
then; I can only imagine the carnage with a weaker bond. The foams I'm
running are bright blue and when she blows a bead the foam comes flying out
as well, looks pretty hysterical!
