Traction Engine builders tend to use marineflex these days as the previous two part primer & adhesive product is no longer made. Do make your tyre smaller dia than the wheel so it has to be stretched on as this reduces creep. Also don’t go for too soft a rubber

Thank you Jason. I was thinking of putting 1inch thick rubber on top of the rim without profiling it. Its not just laziness! I dont think cutting out that much rubber would work,might hide a couple of countersunk bolts in it.

I use polyurethane adhesive like this:

Other brands are available.

For the rubber I used 16mm neoprene sheet which was sold for lining horse boxes. A box of offcuts was very cheap.

The above combination has worked fine over many seasons on the front wheels of a 4″ scale Burrell.
