After reading a few threads on other sites etc etc calculating the risks.. I believe that it wont make a difference gluing on top seeing as the glue is a contact adhesive and can surely only provide a better grip to the rim. The old glue was still slightly tacky, not dry and falling off so have now applied a fresh coat of glue. Back in the day I can image people re-gluieng tubs on a monthly basis especially those who raced etc. so I highly doubt they would clean the rim often or at all even. The uneven glue wont make much difference I dont think, its less than 1mm so I highly doubt there will be any bumpy parts.
Will do 2 more over the next couple of days then one on the tub and should be alright.
