One guy (from another forum) got so frustrated because masking tape wouldn't stick he used elmer's glue and painted it on... I thought that was pretty clever.

I clean the tires really good before taping, so im guessing that help the tape to stick better. Theres so much duct tape on there it might pull the tire off the wheel later. lol Thanks for the comments -John This post has been edited by Celica_Kid95st: Feb 24, 2006 - 12:39 AM |
