Hi Tack

[bubbles]

I know the Loctite Hi Tack works for glueing radials in place instead of screw's, but will it work on E.T streets, as well?? I have a 3400lbs car runs in the 8'0 range and was hoping to get away without having to drill the rims.

Yes... It will.... Permetex makes it... Not Loctite..

Where do you get it, who stocks it?
I've looked at a few places that stock permetex and loctite, and can't find Hi tack.

ok, I just found some at Advanced Auto, its the 97 Super High Tack.. which I swear they didn't have before. But now after buying it, and seeing the other options, I'm having second thoughts, will the tube be enough, should I have gotten the can with the brush, or should I have bought the the spray on.

Which one are you all using? I'm thinking the spray would be the easiest to apply.

The can with the brush.... FOR SURE...
Make sure you have some Laquer thinner, or Acetone, for the cleanup... Makes it easy...

I carefully mount the tires dry....before I seat the beads I spray the Hitack on the bead of the tire and the area on the wheel where the bead sits. Before the Hitack drys I air up the tire and seat the beads it acts as a lube and drys quickly. Done this for a few 9 second rides around here without trouble one guy runs a .98 60ft time on the rear tires without screws.....only had a couple turn on the rims...repeated the procedure and they never moved. Hope this helps....Lorne

I used the can with the brush on mine works great. The tire turned about 1/2 an inch and then quit moving.

Typo? Brain fart?

I feel I need to say something here.

Radials may be one thing, but with bias tires you have growth and much more deflection. We also have to consider there are many types of wheels out there. With that I have a few things I want to recommend.

If you are running tubes, use rim screws. If the tire moves even a little, there is the potential to tear the valve.

If you are running wheels, wider than the tread width of the tire - use screws.

Thanks,
