Apply at several spots where the tire meets the rim? Both sides of the rim?

Can you tell I'm mounting my radials tomorrow?

Bruce are you running 500 or 550 excelsiors?

Our Excelsiors are 5:50’s.

I mounted the tire, inflated it, deflated it, broke the backside bead an applied a good dollop in five or six places between the tire bead and the rim. My buddy, who also “lost” a valve stem, used a wire wheel on a drill motor to skiff the inside lip of the rim all the way around. Both methods seem to work.
