Put a layer of Tubasti on and mount the tire!
what redlude97 said...

plus i googled around quite a bit BEFORE actually doing anything and this wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

also... i'm not a light guy, i didn't want to make this a cautionary tale.

also also, a buddy of mine rolled a tubular last weekend with what looked like the amount of glue you were suggesting. so there's that....

thanks for the input though.
