I'll flip it over then let is soak again. Usually they will roll right off, wring out the foams and let dry. What didn't dissolve of the ca I'll take a soaked rag and wipe around the tires to get it off. Your right you are going to get in on you, my hands are pretty much crystalized from paint thinner and carb cleaner anyway. For new factory glued tires, the bake method does work great, and is the cleanest no doubt. All boiling ever got me was aggravation, seemed to take forever since you kind of need to watch the pot, and haif the time you take them out get half way around then have to reboil. Still managed to rip beads and just takes forever. I guess everyone has their fav method.

I'm hearing ya, and well said. I can see your method working with minimal effort but still, Isocianates and needless fumes.
