I got CA glue on my fingers while glueing my tires to keep them on the rims
during high speed turns. How can I get it off of my fingers?

Thanks ;p Its not a big problem but I lost sense of touch where the glue
is. lol Just an annoyance really.

The tires I glued now dont look very nice ;p, glue is dried up all around
the edge of where tire and rim meet. Is it possible to buy preglued tires?

yes it is but the selection is slim.

Is the vehicle a show vehicle? If not don't worry about the glue job
after some runs and crashing you'll never notice the glue.

Sounds like you may have used too much glue, or the wrong kind. I have the
best results with "thin" super glue. Just apply the tip of the applicator
to the tire bead and squeeze the bottle very gently. You don't need a lot
of glue. If done correctly, capillary action will pull the thin super glue
into the bead and you won't even be able to see it. Good Luck.

I got medium because that is what the LHS said I should get for tires.
