Apoxy and Wheels

[Freddy Cacace]

i know there was a thread on this, but it was from like 2006. im thinking about apoxying a pro wheel. has anyone else done it? if so how much does it add to the weight?
discuss.

 

[beastlycaptain]

ah thanks. yeah im going to try it and see how it works

 

[jlaw338]

just hot glue it

 

[dezbert]

the whole reason he started this thread was because he wanted to epoxy the wheel......if he wanted to hotglue it, he would have hot glued it....he is wondering if he should epoxy it, buddy.

 

[jonnyq]

use liquid metal

 

[dezbert]

haha....that would be a bit heavey.....(unless i'm totally wrong?)

 

[Freddy Cacace]

is there even such thing as liquid metal?

 

[Matt]

yes someone did it to a wheel like a week ago

 

[Freddy Cacace]

oh. well ima have some pics up of it soon. the problem is it takes a while to dry.,.

 

[team_punishment]

ive seen it done before, i want to do it but i dont have any epoxy

 

[Freddy Cacace]

i think u can buy it at hardware stores. but it takes a while to mix it, then it has to dry for like 24 hours or something

 

[mat]

epoxy resin is light and strong. do it, but make sure its the right kind of resin. liquid metal is shit.

 

[Matt]

Wow i asked the epoxi wheel question like a month ago and everyone said it wouldnt work

 

[kolbycrouch]

they make quick dry epoxy that dries in like 5 mins or somethin, but yea epoxy is great and you dont notice the weight

Uhhm...I wouldn't say this!
I put some liquid metal in a stock wheel and it hold up like half a year.
