Ok I try to do this during the Summer on a warm day. I take a small plastic dish and mix up a mixture of Dawn dish soap and water. I will take the two slicks and lay them on their sidewalls and I save my worn out white socks with holes in them instead of throwing them out. With the sock on my hand I will dip it in the mixture of soap and water and paint the inside of each slick on the ground. After Mother Nature dries them in the sun I will flip them over and repeat this to the other side. If they both thoroughly dry I will repeat this procedure again so BOTH inside sidewalls have had 2 coats each. The next day I will take Lacquer Thinner and thoroughly clean the 2 inch bead area that seals against the wheel.(4 sides two slicks) This is very important to to the guys that don't screw their wheels as tires have a slimy feeling mold release compound when made. After all 4 sides have been cleaned I take red Scotchbrite cloth to the just cleaned area to scuff it. I then clean the 4 areas again with Lacquer thinner and then take them to my local tire mounting center. I take brush on "High-Tach" so they can "dry mount" my slicks while applying a nice coat of High Tach. After they are done I ask them to inflate my slicks to 20-25 pounds to press the bead against the rim while they dry 24-48 hours if possible. I then measure each slick for circumference to see if they are with-in tolerance and the I bubble balance them with stick on weights and cover weights with Gorilla Tape. I then take a white paint stick and drawl a line on BOTH slicks so I can see if they move at the track. Damn my finger is tired from all that typing. Please excuse all grammar and misspelled words. For the guys that just screw their slicks I would recommend using the pressure above so when you screw them you aren't PUSHING the bead away from the wheels leading to air leaks. I also used to take my drill bit and wrap black electrical tape around the bit several wraps so it would act like a "drill stop" so you couldn't drill through the slick. I then saved this bit for just this job.
