Gluing Tubular

So I tried gluing my first tublar tire. I used Hutchinson glue. Put two layers on a rim, a layer on a tire. Put it on a wheel. Which was very very hard to do, even after I left a tire on a rim under pressure for a few days. Let it seat for couple days at 150psi. Today I deflated a tire, and I could seperate a tire from a rim edge in a lot of places, even where it was glued when I put a pressure tire seperated from a rim. So my first attempt is a complete failure
So what's the next step? Try applying glue to the edges where tire is not glued, or take a tire off and start over? What should I do with an old glue, thats on a rim and tire?
