You can try one of the strong anti-perspirants on your scalp before apply the glue, like Maxim <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.stopsweat.com/item/Maxim">http://www.stopsweat.com/item/Maxim</a><!-- m -->
put a very thin layer on, wait a good half hour, then apply glue.

I notice you mention lift at the front, and that always seems to be the case for most of us, lift in the front, decent hold everywheres else.
Have you tried the frontal sealer BA had mentioned before? A sealer in the front can make a big difference.
Also, a big one for myself is to get the front soaking wet in the shower everyday, as you would if shampooing it but you dont have to shampoo, just get it good and wet with warm water.
Tilt your head back and have the water flow in such a manner as to have it slick your hairline back.
This will allow your scap to be rinsed of most dirt and oil, sweat, etc that loosens your bond.
Do it carefully as the warm water will temporarily loosen the bond, and once you get out of the shower you can gently lift and slick back any stray hairs, use a comb to lightly press the lace at the front to be sure its seated, then use a microfiber wash cloth to wipe any excess glue or glue sealer down your forehead and away from your hairline.
Once your hair dries, the bond will reharden itself without all the sweat and oil in there, so it`ll be almost like a new front.

On every third day or so, add shampoo to this routine for a nice clean scalp.

edited to add-
after the bond rehardens and the hair dries, add a thin layer of lace sealer to the front and after it sets, the front can then be styled however you like, as I know some guys dont want it slicked back.
