Congrats! I leave a 1" section opposite the valve stem without glue on the rim. The tire still gets it. This allows for a straight pull when you get to the valve stem.
See Dave Moultons Tubular section part one is an introduction, part 2 is repair: http://davesbikeblog.squarespace.com...ii-repair.html part 3 is gluing.
