[fart!@]

when u hot glue ure wheels does it make any difference

 

[vantagerider]

it makes the core stronger and prevents it from cracking....i highly reccommend you do it

yeah, and if your wheel is already cracked it adds a lot more life to it (unless really bad cracked)

How do people get it perfect? I could see me doing it and it comes out looking rubbish...

You do it.
Dont worry about how it looks then file off the excess.
Itll leave it clean and good.

put wax paper on the bottom of the wheel then put just a little too much hot glue in the other side and when it hardens up, us sand paper or a file to take off all of the excess hot glue

no, hot gluing makes your wheel worse, thats why people do it. haha. jk. but yeah, it strengthens the core so it will last longer. I get it perfectly flat on both sides by putting a piece of tin foil on it and pushing down the hot glue while it is still hot. it has seemed to work for me everytime.

and if there is still some excess use a lighter to heat up that side and then push it down.

or you could get an angle grinder to tidy things up (coedie)

I haven't done it but I'm guessing 2 or 3.

i remember reading somewhere that electrical tape makes it come out perfect everytime, but idk.

i just made it ghetto and used cheap waxpaper. it was ugly, but as long as u cover the whole entire core/spoke area then it will strengthen it and it doesnt matter how it looks really.

 

[scooterdave]

i just filled up the cores and cleaned it up with a wire brush on a drill

 

[dre]

I have an idea. tape the bit of wax paper to a piece of cardboard first and then press them together and let them dry. That way the wax paper will stay flat.
