Yup. Clean the rim of excess glue as well and have at it.

You figure out why it rolled?

first time I cleaned the rim, I use the GooGone gel (rookie mistake) but I expect that some got in the spoke holes and leaked back out once the tire was glued on the first time.  This would have weakened the glue and then a good hard crash took care of the rest.

remounted and raced it this weekend, and it worked great.
