I tried quite some different methods, ductape is ususally the best. Make sure the tires are clean (on the part you apply the tape to)

tried all sorts of glue, but i had a hard time vulcanizing the rubber of the tires i tested it with (mulchers)

Ductape, two layers should do the trick..

Very welcome, I had always wondered how to do the taping and balancing and can recommend the process. I will do it to everything I own!

I took a couple of old arms and removed the shaft from the axle to use for a balancer. Some of us aren't as lucky as linc to have a prop balancer just laying around. Had a couple that were so out of balance I was about ready to give them away. Tried the golf tape and balanced them and they work great now. The epoxy putty is a good idea too.

I like the clamp and table idea. My prop balancer is just big enough to do a std maxx tire. I was going to need something like this to do my lst tires...

I like the epoxy putty but wish it was a bit heavier. My buddy gave me some sticky lead weights that are used to balance full size tires. I may try to cut them up a bit and use them!
