1Aside - That tubular rim needs a lot of cleanup before you can fit a new tubular tyre. An electric heat gun and many clean wooden popsicle sticks. I suggest a heat-resistant glove like an old pot mitt and mount the wheel in an old fork in a vise for ease of access. An IR temperature sensor can help you avoid overheating things too. The embedded dirt may smoulder or burn which can stink too, so consider doing it outside. Source - been there done that.– Criggie ♦Commented Jun 28 at 0:01

1In fact I have the heat gun, I will try my luck. I might even get the sensor, what do you reckon is the max. temperature I can heat it to safely?– JulianCommented Jun 28 at 1:07

1Just hot enough to soften the glue so it can be scraped off. Estimate about 60-70 degrees C. You'll find a temperature where the glue just comes off easily, so that-hot but no more. You can save yourself some effort later by using tubular tape not tubular glue, tufo.com/en/accessories/detail/…– Criggie ♦Commented Jun 28 at 8:33

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. mountain-bike), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
