Cleaning up the bead will help make airing up easier
great thanks for that nice to know im not waisting my time and will make a differance
I always clean them up, as it's just unecessary weight at the most critical area (outer edge of the rotating mass).
it drys like some sort of latex rubber amazing stuff really streachy and time consuming
So the latex rubber, dries like some sort of latex rubber?
is it latex ruber or some sort of other stuff like latex i havent read the bottle but i will now..
Hmm.....
Best way found so far is rubbing it off with a balled rag about the diameter of the carcass. Messy tho, bits of latex like latex everywhere!
