Yesterday I was using my bandsaw and the rubber part of my upper wheel started coming off. I put it back and reset the blade but it came off again. It looks like it was previously glued on. What type of adhesive should I use to reset it? Its a Delta 14 inch bandsaw.

I have tires I got from Louis Iturra; they're on with no glue. He does sell Scotch-Grip 847 for use with rubber tires.
888.722.7078 for Iturra. He's got a great catalog but, at least as of several months ago, no website.
When tires start to come off, it is an indication that they have lost their resiliancy and need to be replaced. Do both the top and bottom. Most 14" bandsaws do not have their tires glued on.
You can get replacement tires from the manufacture or a number of the woodworking supply locations. The manufacturer will tell you if you need to glue them on.
Thanks Howie,
I'll call Delta and find out what they recommend.
