But, Now that I think about it though the Dremel is a bad idea, cause it would effect the structure of the rim, but the jb weld I am thinking could give a little extra help in the prevention area as long as I stay within 90 pounds since that seems like the high end of what everyone says they go up to without problems with their straight side rims. I guess I just don't really see how jb welding a little lip would cause any problems that would put me at risk, the stuff sticks really well, and is flexible enough that I doubt bumps and vibrations would crack it.
i, for one, applaud your initiative and imagination! don't let the naysayers and half-empty glassers discourage you. of course, you might be better served to attempt something more realistic and practical, like breeding a gentle pit bull (duck slings and arrows) or the like, but we all start somewhere. good luck.
