    I have set tire beads with starting fluid myself. It’s a little scary and I don’t really recommend it, but it does work. Just don’t try it with ATV tires. I once saw a 3 wheeler tire go to about twice it’s normal size after being set with a shot of ether. 😯 😯 YIKES!

    I couldn’t get it work on a car tire, I don’t reccoment it for that. Did it on a few different lawn tractors and wheelbarrows and it worked great. I think the sidewalls have to be more flexible for it to work.

    Gary, great tip on the Scotch Grip, I have in the past tried panel adhesive on bad beads with mixed results, but have looked for something like that. Next time I get a bad bead I am going to try it.
