TIP: removal of tyre mold lines

[RallyRaider]

Spooky exhaust smoke - that is the same technique I use on treaded tyres! As you say the curve of finger nail clippers perfectly matches the circumprence of a 1/24th tyre. Works a treat.

Would this not leave white residue all over the tyre?

I haven't had that problem. If you sand the tyre enough it'll only give it a used look. But if you're concerned about it then try it on a scrap tyre or on the inside seam. It really makes the seam removal easy.
