I don't glue them, and if I never do, I'll be just fine. Another mechanic at the shop does, and it takes longer than 1/2 hour even for one, and there is overnight waiting involved.
It's another one of those jobs where no customer would ever ask a shop to do it if a shop charged at hourly shop rate for the time it actually takes to do it. Shops lose money mounting tubulars.
OP, did you ask the shop where you bought the tires what they would charge to mount them beforehand...?
