To the tire or to wheel ? How ? ?

Can Bulfrog Snot be used on wheels that did not have tires ?

You have to apply and run for about 10 minutes and then let cure overnight.

The ones I have used are stretched to fit the wheels not heat treated.

There are two different types of heat shrink however. One has a glue inside of it and it works really well.
The one detraction of using heat shrink is that there is a shiny surface left after heating the tyres on. What I do is after the tyres are on and cool, I run the loco only for half to three quarters of an hour to get rid of the shine and then the loco will pull a good rake.
