I used some Tubasti not too long ago, and it seemed to stay wet a lot longer than the other glues I've use in recent years. Haven't checked on those tires to see how tacky it is between the surfaces still but you might give Tubasti a shot.
Ciao, Mark Agree ...who last week rolled a tubular tire that was too lightly glued, too long ago, in a kinda hairy turn, not far from Southfield MI USA ~ ~ ~

I know of one cyclist who carries a tube of Mastic with him (with some Baggies), and puts a very thin coat on the used tire before installing it as a spare. The light coat of fresh glue tends to re-activate the old layers and restore some tackiness.
