Stop right there. To me the whole point of tubulars is the bike/rider bond. That undefinable 'thing' that connects you and your bike. Tubulars have a great feel in your hands. Glue 'em on the rims and spin the wheel. Adjust, spin, adjust, spin. The tires bond to the rims and the rider bonds with the bike. I cant imagine trusting anyone else to glue my tires, then too I cant imagine anyone else adjusting anything on my bike. Too intimate a bond...bike and rider.
