I glue or tape around the perimeter and leave the front clean then I attach the back and sides. I flip the front up (like a hood of a car) and apply the glue, let it dry and the flip it down to get a nice all around attachement. You should also try the Re-align product from Debbies site, You spray it on your glue/tape BEFORE you place in on your head, it sort of temporarily stops the stickyness for about 30 seconds so you have time to move things around. It seems like it ruins the bond but it dries and the bond is then normal.
