The question is about tubular tyres, not tubeless. Clearing up mixed up tags and terminology.

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/…

Jun 28 at 0:01 comment added Criggie Aside - 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.
