The only way I've been able to get a good start on the tubes is to push and hold in the starting side with a straightedge.
Push the inside edge down, start the roll and remove the straightedge.
Use both hands to hold the inside edge tight until the turned wrap holds them in against the dowel.
I found I only need to glue the last 1/2" of the edge to hold the tubes closed.
Apply a drop or two and use the bottle nozzle to spread out the glue evenly.
It won't take a lot of glue.
Press the glued tab down then burnish and roll over the seam with a clean dowel.
Leave the tube on the dowel while drying.
