oh, I don't care about the tubular vs clincher debate. I like a couple of specific tires, most of my wheels are clinchers, sooooooo I buy clincher tires.
Now I have a set of tubular tires, sooooooo now I'll give them a go...again.
Just could use some expert advice on how much glue should be on the rim before a re-glue

Since you’re asking, I’d clean them down to the rim surface just because. Essentially, you will know for sure the condition of the glue that holds your tire on the rim and you’ll not have to clean them again for a number of years. Ymmv of course.
