This was brought up a while back and I mentioned it then, but lacked an example. Well I got one now! This is basically waterbed patch cement, available at your local waterbed store (check the yellow pages) and cost a whopping buck fifty. It truly bonds the vinyl and is flexible too. The only caution I'll give is, it dries lightning fast (Even under water!) so you'll have to work quick when sticking the tires together. You'll have a workable bond in about 30 minutes, just try to get a good surface to surface mate as it doesn't fill worth a hoot. I glued up the finished version, then hit it with a coarse file the even the surface followed by a less coarse sandpaper to even it out nicely, and in well under an hour start to finish! I used it to glue up the gumbos on the Stogie too.

Glad you brought this tip back out. I couldn't remember what it was you used on the vinyl tires. I need to get some of this stuff. Thanks! ;D

Vinyl glue works great. I've used it many times.
