Getting glue out of the inside of zipp tubulars
The set of Zipp 303 FC Tubulars I picked up I have removed those pesky 19mm tires that the owner before me for some reason placed on there. So I have cleaned the rim bed with light amounts of Acetone like zipp recommends so I can start fresh with ne glue and 23mm tubulars. Problem is i guess pieces of glue have accumiltaed inside the rim thru the spoke holes during cleaning and I was wandering if there is a way to get it out? When i shake the rim I here it floating around in there. Any suggestions

Yes.
Hold the wheels with the valve hole on the bottom. Shake the wheels to get the clumps of glue to the bottom.
Looking through the top of the valve hole, when you see a clump of glue on the bottom of the valve hole, use a valve extender or some other tube or stick to push the clumps out of the bottom of the valve hole.
