1.  Start with scuffed tires before treating.  If scuffing is not possible, tires may be wire brushed or sanded using very coarse sandpaper.  The purpose of this is to remove mold release agents on new tires.

2.  Using any blanket material, cut out 4 strips to the width of  the tire and also to the circumference of the tire allowing about an inch overlap on the circumference.

3.  Doing only 1 tire at a time, pour out a small amount of the TRACK CLAW® in a flat open container.  Wearing rubber gloves, take a small 4" sponge paint roller and dip into the solution and squeeze out excess.  Apply a thin wet coat to the tire.  Repeat this process at least 2-3 coats on the tire.  Make sure the tire stays wet!

4.  Once you have applied the last coat of TRACK CLAW® to the wet tire, take the dry cloth strips and wrap it around the wet tire and tack them in place with a few office staples.  Now take your paint roller and roll on enough TRACK CLAW® to wet the blanket material.  Immediately wrap the tire in plastic or shrink wrap.  Put the tire in a large garbage or leaf bag and seal it airtight.  This must be done immediately before any evaporation occures.

5.  Leave tires in bags for at least 24-72 hours.  For maximum results we prefer to leave them in the bags for at least 2-3 days, but sometimes you might not be able to do this because of your time and scheduling.

6.  After the tires have been in bags for the suggested time, take the tires out of the bags and unwrap them.  You will now need to let the air curing porcess take place by allowing at least 24 to 48 hours drying time before you race on these tires.  You can reuse your blanket wraps over and over again by quickly putting them in ziplock bags.

7.  For best results, this process should be repeated each week before each race.
