You can't really glue broken wheels...
it won't wotk.
get some resin. You'll get it in shops where you can buy RC airplains. That'll be the best was... is little expensiever then hot glue, but works very well if you make it right.

I got myself banned.
What else is there to be done? Just put the glue in haha. I would do it on some like wax paper so the glue dosn't stick to the surface... although it still might
do it carefully. Do it only a bit at a time, otherwise you'll encounter problems because the glue will run everywhere. You have to do a bit at a time and wait for it to dry before you put more on if you want it to stay a good shape. Personally, I wouldn't glue my wheels. I'd rather do what Eric Rabl did and hammer pices of cut aluminum inbetween the spokes of the wheel. It would probably last longer that way. I don't know it it ruins the bearings or not though...
no, it does'nt fuck ya bearings and the glu dont melt either, haha.~Snake~ said:but then it melts wen u ride after a while and fuks ya bearings

get a brand new watever wheel u want to moddd then stick tape one side so when u glue gun the threw the gaps it stops and just fills up do it to all spokes then when done let it dry abit then take the tape off and clean the other side up abit with more glue gun.
once uve done that let it dry then use a angle grinder to make it a smooth baby now thats how i do it .
